Chapter 25, Problem 2CAL
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The fluid present in the body contains the salts and electrolyte ions which maintain the homeostasis and osmolarity of the body. The ions are essential for the cellular functions, impulse conduction through axons, muscle contraction, maintaining the cell permeability and growth processes.
