Answer:

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. The law has emerged into greater prominence in recent years with the many health data breaches caused by cyber attacks and ransomware attacks on health insurers and providers.

The federal law was signed by President Bill Clinton on Aug. 21, 1996. HIPAA overrides state laws regarding the safety of medical information, unless the state law is considered more stringent than HIPAA.

what controls the water balance between body cells and their environment. minerals, temperature, vitamins, glucose, or fiber​
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Minerals

Explanation:

Minerals such as potassium (K⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) are essential in the body. One main purpose of mineral ions such as these is to control water balance in the body, the way this is achieved is through the natural process of osmosis.

Osmosis is slightly different to diffusion in that it is the movement of water, as opposed to other substances. When there is more solutes on one side of the membrane, water will move to that side. Hence if there are too many minerals outside the cell, then the water in the cell will move into the surroundings, which causes the cell to dehydrate and can lead to cell death.
