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).
