Electrolytes in Body Fluids
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: - Ions formed when electrolytes dissociate and dissolve:
1. Control osmosis of water between fluid compartments
2. Help maintain the acid-base balance
3. Carry electrical current
4. Serve as cofactors

- The concentration of ions is expressed in units of milliequivalents per liter (mEq/liter).
- Blood plasma, interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid have different concentrations of electrolytes and protein ions.
- Blood plasma contains many protein ions and interstitial fluid contains only a few.
