Fluids for Life
- Fluids are substances that have no fixed shape and flow freely, like liquids and gases
- Humans use fluids like air and water to survive
- The human body is mostly made of fluids
Fluids in the Human Body
- Oxygen: Releases energy from food
- Blood: Acts as a transport system, carrying materials to cells and removing waste
- Sweat: Cools the body
- Saliva: Lubricates food for swallowing, starting digestion
- Urine: Eliminates dissolved waste from the body
- Stomach acid: Aids in the chemical digestion of food
Body Systems and Fluids
- Several body systems (circulatory, respiratory, urinary) move fluids throughout the body
- Waste products are carried in the bloodstream and can harm or kill cells if not removed
- Kidneys filter waste from the blood and dispose of it in urine
- If kidneys fail, a dialysis machine can filter the blood and return it to the body
