A note about the complexity of salt and water balance

In the research and design of this module, we uncovered what a complex phenomenon of salt balance can be! We are simply touching on it through this module. For instance, there are different types of hyper- and hyponatremia, based on the ration between the amount of fluid and salt in an individual. We only scratch the surface here to bring to light just one of the processes that are constantly being regulated and reset, often times without deliberate effort.
