This document discusses the importance of electrolyte balance in the body. It defines electrolytes as substances that become ions in solution and conduct electricity. Electrolytes are present in the human body and maintaining their balance is essential for normal cell and organ function. The concentration and distribution of electrolytes inside cells and in extracellular fluid is regulated by active transport pumps. The kidneys play an important role in regulating electrolyte concentration to maintain health. Body fluids also need to be maintained within narrow pH ranges for biological processes to function properly.

1. IMPORTANCE OF ELECTROLYTE BALANCE IN THE BODY

2. ELECTROLYTES Solutes which ionize completely are described as strong acids and strong electrolytes. Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide are strong bases and strong electrolytes. Solutes which do not ionize completely are WEAK electrolytes. Example of these are acetic acid, ammonium hydroxide, and water. electrolytic solution

3. Electrolytes in The body electrolytes are substances that become ions in solution and acquire the capacity to conduct electricity. Electrolytes are present in the human body, and the balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of our cells and our organs.

5. Regulation of body electrolytes Ions inside the cells and in the extracellular fluid (blood and tissue fluid) are also called electrolytes. The concentration and distribution of these ions are maintained by active transport pumps in plasma membranes. Regulation of electrolyte concentration is done in the kidney for one to stay healthy.

6. The h of body fluids p Body fluids have pH values that have to be maintained within fairly narrow ranges because many biological processes depend on the pH of the medium. Thus, digestive enzymes have their optimum activity at define pH values.
