Water Flashcards
In composition of water, give the percentage of body weight, muscle, bone, teeth
- Body weight = 60 - 65%
- Muscle = 70%
- Bone = 20%
- Teeth 10%
Water is found in (5)
saliva, blood, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, bile
Ratio of ICF & ECF
2/3 intracellular fluid; 1/3 extracellular fluid
Recommended water intake in Liters
2-3 Liters
Mechanical function of Water is ____
Lubrication of joints & viscera in abdominal cavity (moisten eyes, nose, mouth)
Water functions as _ absorbers inside the __ & ___(spinal or amniotic fluid)
(1) Shock absorber
(2) Eyes & Spinal cord
Water transports (4)
minerals, sugar, amino acids, vitamins
Give 8 functions of Water
- Shock absorbers inside eyes & spinal cord
- Aids in chemical reaction DACE:
digestion, absorption, circulation, excretion - Maintenance or Regulate of body temperature
- Mechanical Function: (moisten eyes, nose, mouth) lubrication of joints & viscera in the abdominal cavity
- Universal solvent or medium for chem reactions
- Aids in excretion or elimination of waste (helps soften stool)
- Transport MSAV: minerals, sugar, amino acids, vitamins
- Maintenance of electrolyte balance
Recommended water intake
30 mins before and after eating
Example of diuretic effect
Coffee, Alcohol, Tea
___ controls the water intake = water output
ADH Antidiuretic Hormone
Give the breakdown of Water Intake
Liquids = 1,300 mL
Food = 1,000 mL
Metabolic W. = 300 mL
Total = 2,600 mL
Give the breakdown of Water Output
Skin = 600 mL
Urinary = 1,500 mL
Respiration = 400 mL
Fecal = 100 mL
Total = 2,600 mL
___ indication of lack of water intake
Dark or Yellow Urine
How to starve cancer cells & test to detect amount of cancer cells
Interval of 8 hours of eating, stress is also additional factor
CEA test
___ will cause thinning of enamel
High acid pH
Give the abnormalities of water balance
(1) Dehydration, (2) Water Intoxication
In dehydration, water absorption to body cells thru :
- small intestine → blood, lymph
- reabsorption of water in the kidney till osmotic pressure stabilized
Dehydration results to:
↑ osmotic pressure & extracellular concentration,
→ Water absorption to body cell thru:
