4 main functions of water in the body
(AnsAct as a vehicle of transportation of substances to and from cell
Aid heat regulations by providing perspiration which evaporates
Assist with maintenance of hydrogen balance in the body
To serve as a medium for the enzymatic action for digestion
How much of the body is water?
(Ans- More than half – 60% males contain 50% females contain 60% due to
fat tissue
Lose more fluid through skin than adults
(Ans- Infants – kidneys are not as efficient as adults less fluid absorption
Adults – age related decline in total body water
(Ans- Diminished thirst sensations; decrease in urine concentrating abilities
of kidneys; decreases the effectiveness of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
