Water balance intake - 90% ingested water; 10% metabolic water output - 60% urine; 28% lungs/skin (mucosa); 12% sweat/feces water need - trigger thirst & release of adh. The thirst mechanism decrease in plasma volume or increase in osmolarity excitation of hypothalamic thirst center . 1 sensation of thirst: regulation of water output obligatory water loss - lungs, sweat, feces regulation of water - kidneys (adh -> na+) Disorders of water balance bleeding, burns, sweating, diuretics dehydration - water loss -> water intake hypotonic hydration - too much water or na+ edema - accumulation of water in interstitial space.
