Excerpt

The maintenance of extracellular fluid (ECF) osmolality within narrow limits of variation is essential for the functioning of cells. The constant composition of the internal environment is primarily regulated by the balance between the intake and renal excretion of both sodium and water (Denton et al. 1996).
