Abstract
The crucial physiologic role of such transport is illustrated by cystic fibrosis. In that lethal genetic disease, transepithelial sodium absorption and chloride secretion are respectively increased and decreased, and pulmonary mucus is dehydrated. Mechanisms that regulate normal sodium and chloride movement are discussed, as are the derangements in cystic fibrosis.
