Electrolyte and fluid balance inside and outside of cells is maintained by the Quizlet

Fluid found outside the cells.

Accounts for about 1/3 of total body fluid and is subdivided into compartments.
Two compartments of ECF are intravascular and interstitial.

Other compartments: lymph and transcellular fluids (cerebrospinal, pericardial, pancreatic, pleural, intraocular, biliary, peritoneal, and synovial fluids)

Principal electrolytes are sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate

Plasma and interstitial fluid, two primary components of ECF, contain essentially the same electrolytes and solutes with the exception of protein

Plasma: Protein rich fluid, containing large amounts of albumin

Interstitial Fluid: contains little or no protein. transports waste from the cells by way of the lymph system as well as directly into the blood plasma through capillaries

What is the main mechanism for balancing electrolytes and fluids inside and outside of cells?

The sodium-potassium pump is the primary mechanism for cells to maintain water balance between themselves and their surrounding environment.

How is fluid and electrolyte balance maintained?

To adjust fluid levels, the body can actively move electrolytes in or out of cells. Thus, having electrolytes in the right concentrations (called electrolyte balance) is important in maintaining fluid balance among the compartments. The kidneys help maintain electrolyte concentrations.

What minerals maintain fluid balance inside and outside of your cells?

Several minerals are key to regulating water balance in different compartments of the body; the most important of these are sodium, potassium, and chloride.

Which of the following organs function is to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance?

The kidneys are essential for regulating the volume and composition of bodily fluids.
