Fluid, electrolyte and Acid base balance

Fluid & Electrolyte Balance - Normal body function depends on a relatively constant volume of water and definite concentration of chemical compounds (electrolyte).

Water – is the most essential nutrient of life. 60-65% of the body weight is water and no physiology can function without it.

Electrolyte – is a compound that dissociate in a solution to break up in to separate electrically charged particles (ions) – cation, anions
