What is fluid shift
Rapid shifts between ECF and ICF (response to osmotic gradient). If ECF osmotic concentration increases, fluid becomes hypertonic to ICF and water moves from cells to ECF. If osmotic pressure in ECF decreases fluid becomes hypotonic to ICF moves water fro
Dehydration
(Water depletion) develops when water loss is greater than gain. If water is lost, but electrolytes retained- ECF osmotic concentrations rises. Water moves ICF to ECF and net change in ECF is small.

What is sodium uptake
Sodium Ion Uptake across the digestive system
Sodium ions enter the ECF by crossing the digestive epithelium through diffusion and carrier-mediated transport. The rate of absorption varies directly with the amount of sodium in diet.
What is sodium secreation
Sodium Ion Excretion by the Kidneys and other sites
Sodium losses take place primarily by excrection in urine and through perspiration. The kidneys are the most important sites of Na+ (sodium) regulation.
