Most body fluids are neutral in charge. Thus, cations, or positively charged ions, and anions, or negatively charged ions, are balanced in fluids. As seen in the previous graph, sodium (Na +) ions and chloride (Cl –) ions are concentrated in the ECF of the body, whereas potassium (K +) ions are concentrated inside cells. Although sodium and ...
