Question

The major importance of regulating ECF osmolarity is

to prevent spontaneous depolarization of nerve and muscle cell membranes because of shifts in Na+ balance

to prevent the urine from becoming too concentrated

to prevent an acid-base imbalance if the hydrogen ions were to become too concentrated or too dilute in the body fluids

to prevent fluid shifts between cells and the ECF, which could produce profound symptoms as the cells swell or shrink

to help maintain blood pressure
