Which hormones maintain salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid?

Aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid) regulates water and electrolyte (salt) balance in the extracellular fluid, mainly by regulating sodium ion reabsorption by kidney tubules.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the distal and collecting tubules of the kidney to reabsorb more water from the urinary filtrate, thereby reducing urine output and conserving body water.

Mechanism that your body has that maintain fluid body?
what mechanism that you body has that maintain fluid balance?
Do a normal person should have positive fluid balance or negative fluid balance?
Total body water is 60% of body weight, Intracellular fluid is 40% of the body weight and extracellular fluid is 20% of the body weight.
Is plasma intracellular or extracellular?
Chloride is an Anion in Extracellular Fluid
Fluid found OUtSiDE of a cell is called?
cytoplasm
Extracellular fluid is found everywhere in the body EXCEPT?
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
What are the solutes that maintain balance between intracellular and extracellular fluid?
sodium, chloride, & potassium
What does soduim do in the human body?
Life has been originated in the sea. So probably you have carried the sea water with you as a extracellular fluid. Main function of the sodium is to maintain the osmotic counter balance to the osmotic pressure of the potassium from the intracellular fluid.

Why and how does the ECF differ from the ICF?
The acronym ECF stands for extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of the cell in the human body.

What organ maintain tissue fluid balance?

How do the kidneys help maintaining homeostasis?
There are many functions of the kidneys that maintain homeostasis. In addition to filtering wastes, the kidneys use hormones to regulate blood pressure and altering the sodium and electrolyte balances to maintain proper fluid balances within the body. The kidneys help to maintain the internal balance in the body by excreting substances that change that balance. The kidneys also help to maintain water balance.

What is found in extracellular fluid?
The principal elements in the extracellular fluid are sodium, potassium and calcium.
