Chemical Reactions and Solutions

The human body is not merely a vessel; it is a continuously operating chemical reactor. Every heartbeat, muscle contraction, and electrical impulse in the nervous system relies on the precise rearrangement of atoms. In clinical practice, whether you are administering an IV drip, calculating a medication dosage, or analyzing arterial blood gases, you are directly manipulating chemical reactions and solutions. To master these interventions, we must first understand the fundamental rules that govern how matter interacts, transforms, and seeks equilibrium.
