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.
