wow, exact same question as shiney... thanx durham....and sorry for repeat as i didn;t see the question.
thanx ebna, for the answer....well, it is a correct answer....but i still don't understand... as i am thinking with the concept that 2/3 of the sodium is reabsorbed and 1/3 is excreted then how come ans. is 23?

the na intake must equal na excreted
but traces may be needed so the answer does not need any equation 23 is the nearest to 25 correct me |
