Document Summary
Fluid and function in the body: friday march 18th, 201. Molecules are far enough apart that they can slide past each other. Positively and negatively charged ions that are dissolved in water. This charge allows them to do what they do. Carbohydrates, amino acids, water soluble vitamins, minerals, medications. Water insoluble substances are transported with the help of chylomicrons. Being made mostly of water helps us keep cool. Water is often needed to break 2 molecules apart. Water is often released when 2 molecules are joined together. 75-80% of the water we get comes from beverages. Making triglycerides and peptide bonds creates water too. The hypothalamus (part of your brain) tells you that you"re hungry also tells you when you"re thirsty. When the blood becomes concentrated antidiuretic hormone is released. This hormone tells the kidneys to keep as much water as possible from being lost in the urine. Women need 2. 7l from food, beverages and drinking water.
