What part of the small intestine absorbs electrolytes?
In terms of functionality, the ileum and colon are comparable to the jejunum; however, they have a better capacity to absorb electrolytes and produce noticeably higher transmural electrical potentials.
How are electrolytes absorbed?
- Electrolytes are ingested by food and liquids and are expelled through sweat, urine, and feces.
- An electrolyte imbalance can happen if one factor in this equation is off (due to excessive sweating, diarrhea, etc.).
