b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The concentration of Na+ ions in the CSF as well as the blood plasma

Introduction: Sodium ions are important cations that are present in the plasma as well as the CSF. The role of the sodium ions is to transport nutrients as well as waste material across the blood.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The concentration of K+ ions in the CSF as well as the blood plasma
