Osmolality and electrolytes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of febrile children with and without seizures. During acute febrile diseases mild disturbances of water and electrolyte balance occur frequently. It has been suggested that changes in electrolyte balance‚ in particular hyponatraemia‚ might predispose a child to convulsions during febrile illness; however‚ the changes of electrolytes in the CSF are not known. We have studied the effects of fever and convulsions on water and electrolyte balance

The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes
