Dehydration

 
The number of human body fluids is always set correctly. Approximately 60% of our body is water:
2 / 3 are in the cell, 1 / 3 is outside the cell (extracellular)
Of extracellular water 1 / 3 are in the bloodstream and 2 / 3 (= interstitial water) outside the blood stream.
At a weight of 60 kg:
total body fluids: 36 liters
in the cell: 24 liters
outside the cell: 12 liters
Interstitial water: 8 liters
• How does the body maintain the proper amount of water in the cell?
• How does the body maintain the proper amount of water in the room interstial?
• How does the body maintain the proper amount of water in the bloodstream?
