Some electrolytes tend to exist mostly inside cells, or are intracellular, while others tend to be outside cells, or are extracellular

How do electrolytes play a role in muscle contraction?

Electrolytes help regulate the electrical impulses that control muscle contractions. They maintain the balance of fluids inside and outside of muscle cells, allowing for proper muscle function. When muscles contract, electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium are essential for transmitting signals between nerve cells and muscle cells.

What do electrolytes do within the body?

That is the golden question! What do electrolytes do in your body? You have sodium chloride in high concentration and calcium in low concentration in extracellular fluid. You have potassium chloride in high concentration and magnesium chloride in low concentration inside the cells. The concentration of the electrolytes is maintained in very narrow range. The cells spend most of the energy, in keeping particular electrolytes, inside and outside the cell. The cell functions are adversely affected, when the concentration of the electrolytes become more or less. The sodium and potassium falls under the same column in the periodic table. The magnesium and the calcium falls in the same column in the periodic table. Together they make a cross. They have almost same chemical properties. How does the cell identify the the ions in milliseconds is a big question mark. The answer is, I do not know the exact answer.

Is water a electrolite?

Yes, water is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge and are found in fluids inside and outside of cells in the body. Water, on the other hand, is a neutral substance that does not carry an electric charge on its own.


Cells in a hypertonic solution?

The cell has electrolytes (sodium) in smaller number than outside. Through simple diffusion or in this case osmosis, water will move out of the cell in an effort to balance the numbers inside with those on the outside. The cell will shrink as a result.
