Abstract

Our bodies and many other animals' cells extracellular and intracellular fluids are mainly comprised of water with ionized salts in solution. These salts, mainly Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ( Foundations Of Biology: Cell and Organ Physiology, Faculty of the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior SUNY Stony Brook; Pacific Crest 2007, Lisle IL: pg 9) can appear in an organism in different times in varying amounts. Animals, including humans regulate the different concentrations of salt in their bodies versus the environment through osmosis, which is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute potential to an area of high solute potential ( Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. Osmosis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmosis. Viewed 02/14/07).
