Cell s Function depends not only on receiving a continuous supply of nutrients and elimi-nating metabolic waste products butalso on the existence of stable physi-cal and chemical conditions in theextracellular fluid1bathing it. Amongthe most important substances con-tributing to these conditions are water,sodium, potassium, calcium, andphosphate. Loss or retention of anyone of these substances can influencethe body s handling of the others. Inaddition, hydrogen ion concentration( , acid-base balance) influencescell structure and permeability as wellas the rate of metabolic reactions.
