Document Summary
Properties of water polarity of water allows polar molecules to dissolve hydrogen bonds are formed with polar compounds and hydration shells surround ions hydrogen bonds are weak, constantly break and reform so that solutes can move in solution and water can move through pored in cell membranes thermoregulation: water is resistant t temperature change and can dissipate heat from areas that generate it such as the brain, also dissipates heat when blood vessels in the skin constrict or dilate. To adjust the osmolality, her urine output has increased, causing dehydration. glucose built up in blood should not just be treated with water because it might not go to the right compartment: need to replenish salts as well, kwashiorkor protruding stomach fluid moving out of the vessels and into perennial space (interstitial space) because they don"t have raw material body is trying to make blood proteins but there isn"t enough amino acid intake.
