Sodium (Na+) is the main [blank_start]cation[blank_end] in the ECF ([blank_start]extracellular[blank_end] fluid). It determines the ECF volume, and therefore, influences [blank_start]blood pressure[blank_end]. It's standard range of concentration in the ECF is between 135 and 145 mmol/L. ([blank_start]Milimol per litre[blank_end]).

Glucose is especially important as it is used to make ATP. [blank_start]Low glucose levels[blank_end] harm neurons and [blank_start]high glucose levels[blank_end] can cause acute or chronic problems. The normal fasting glucose [blank_start]concentrtion[blank_end] in the blood is 3.5—6.0 mmol/L. When not fasting it can reach 8 mmol/L.
