Importance of inorganic compounds
Both water and salt are crucial in order to maintain homeostasis in the human body. Water has 5 properties that make it so vital-
high heat capacity prevents sudden changes of temperature caused by outside forces; high heat of vaporization allows large amounts of heat to be removed when we sweat, making it a powerful cooling mechanism; polar solvent properties helps to shield large molecules such as proteins as well as allowing for many chemical reactions to occur; reactivity of water helps to build and breakdown bonds between molecules; and cushioning helps to protect organs from physical trauma.
Salts in their ionized form also have an important homeostatic function. The electrolyte properties are essential in nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. They also help to transport oxygen within red blood cells.
