Question

1. Explain how the body responds to dehydration? List 5 signs and symptoms. Responds by the thirst mechanism which causes you to drink water. Kidneys retain water due to the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. ADH is released which causes the kidneys to retain water.

Answer 1

ANS) The water is one of the most important element which is present in our body and remaining our body sufficiently hydrated is very important to permit the body to work.And we know that around 60 percentage of the weight of the body is because of the water present in the body.And mainly the water is located in the cells of the body or accurately we can say that the water is present in the intracellular space and the remaining is present in the extracellular area.

The dehydration badly influence our emotional state,memory and motor coordination.Many of the studies has showed that the brain tissue fluid reduces due to the dehydration , which reduce the brain capacity and which an also badly influence the cell working.If there is a regular loss of water,then our blood turn to much concentrated condition and this may stimulate our kidney to maintain water.This results in the reduced urination.The reduced water also obstruct the body's efforts at controlling temperature,which can leads to the hyperthermia.

Some of the primary symptoms of the dehydration include,

Very primarily the thirst,very low amount of urine,dark color of the urine,muscle convulsion,irregular heartbeat,dryness of mouth etc are the major symptoms of the dehydration.

There are many causes for the dehydration and that may be the,

Diarrhea - This is one of the major cause for an individual for the dropping of the large amount of water from the body.A particular amount of water is getting lost at every time of the bowel action.

Sweat - A large amount of the water is dropped during the sweat at the time when the body attempt to keep cool itself.

Vomiting - The vomiting is one of the another major reason for the loss of water from the body.Due to the multiple times of vomiting,it is very difficult to manage the presence of water in the body.

In the individuals having diabetes,the increased blood sugar range makes sugar to flow into the urine and water then come behind,which may sometimes leads to notable dehydration and because of this repeated urination and increased thirst are normal signs of the diabetes.
