Homeostasis
What is meant by electrolyte balance?
The maintenance of the dissolved ion concentrations in solution within their narrow healthy ranges
Ensuring that the solution concentrations of sodium and chloride ions are appropriate
The function of the kidneys in reabsorbing required electrolytes from the urine filtrate
Matching electrolyte excretion in sweat and faeces with intake via foodstuffs
The maintenance of the dissolved ion concentrations in solution within their narrow healthy ranges
Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, calcium, phosphate and magnesium ions have an upper and lower limit to their healthy concentrations in the body’s solutions. Electrolyte balance is the metabolic process that ensures that these ions are within their range. Electrolyte balance involves more than just the two ions in choice B, more than just preventing their loss in urine as in choice C, but does include urinary losses, which are missing from choice D.
