Answer: All fingers, toes, feet, and palms are covered in small ridges. These are raised portions of the skin, arranged in connected units called dermal, or friction, ridges. They help us with our grip on objects that we touch. When these ridges press against things, they leave a mark, an impression called a fingerprint.

What is electrolyte balance in the body?
Vlad1618 [11]

The electrolytes present in our body should be in the right concentration. This is said to be electrolyte balance.

Why does an electrolyte imbalance occur?

Electrolyte imbalance is caused when the body fluids are present in large amount. When we sweat or vomit more, it can be due to the lower level of some electrolytes. So, it is necessary that the electrolytes should be in proper proportion.

Electrolytes plays a very important role in our body. It helps in regulation of fluids present in blood and blood plasma, normalizes the pH of blood, allows the contraction of muscles and so on. For all these necessary roles to occur, our electrolytes should be in proper concentration. This is called electrolyte balance.
