    Study Notes

    Water Intake and Output

    • Water Input

      • Daily Intake: 2,500-3,000 ml/day (male)
      • Sources:
        • Ingested fluids (drinking): 1,200 ml/day
        • Ingested food: 1,000 ml/day
        • Metabolic water: 300 ml/day
      • Thirst Regulation: Water insufficiency increases extracellular fluid osmolarity, stimulating osmoreceptors in the brain, leading to increased thirst sensation.

    • Water Output

      • Daily Output: 2,500 ml/day
      • Regulation: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secreted by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland.
        • Dehydration increases ADH secretion to suppress urine volume.
      • Routes:
        • Urine: 750-1,500 ml/day
        • Perspiration (sweating) + water vapor in expired air: 500-800 ml/day (insensible fluid losses)

    • Water in the Body:

      • Represents approximately 65% of body weight in adult males (55% in females).
      • Serves as the medium for chemical reactions within cells.
      • Acts as a universal solvent in the body.
      • Plays a crucial role in regulating and maintaining constant body temperature.
      • Primary constituent of all body fluids (blood, lymph, tissue fluid).
      • Serves as the transporting agent of the body.
      • Main constituent of secretions (saliva, gastric juice, bile, intestinal juice, sweat).
      • Main constituent of excretory fluid (urine).

    • Balance:

      • Water input should equal water output (intake = output).
