Human Physiology: Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis

Abstract

Human physiology provides an integral description for mechanisms of the entire spectrum of functions in the human body. Successful work of the mechanisms requires a highly stabilized internal environment, which is continuously created by visceral organs under the influence of nerve impulses, hormones, incretins, and autacoids. The review discusses the physicochemical parameters of the human internal environment and new possibilities of clearance methods with the involvement of kidneys in homeostatic processes.
