Answer

Sodium plays a role in maintaining homeostasis of all systems not only the fluid and electrolyte. This is the basis of the principal extracellular ion. Sodium ions can be altered in the body but the concentration in the ECF remains stable because of the water volume adjusting consistently was stable. This regulation of sodium water balance is very close to blood pressure and involves itself with neural and hormonal controls. The first is aldosterone which helps with reabsorption of sodium from the filtrate and the water goes through by osmosis, that increases blood volume. The renin-angiotensins mechanism with the overview of the release of aldosterone. This part juxtaglomerular apparatus responds with a decrease stretch, filtrate osmolality or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system which results in aldosterone release. The osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus is aware of the solute concentration in the ECF which in turns increases the sodium content and causes a release of ADH. Water is held back by the kidneys, The atrial natriuretic peptide is finally released.
