Exercise 1 - Question 1
Describe the function of water in the body. (Hint: See Chapter 11 in your
textbook.)
Your Answer:
Water makes up about 55% to 60% of total weight for younger adults and
50% to 55% of total weight for older adults.
Body water delivers dissolved nutrients, electrolytes, and other
substances to organs, tissues, and cells.

Question 2 0. pts
Exercise 1 - Question 2
Identify the two main water (fluid) compartments in the body and describe
the composition of each.
Your Answer:
This water is divided into main compartments (spaces)--the fluid outside
of the cells (extracellular fluid [ECF]) and the fluid inside the cells
(intracellular fluid [ICF]).
Extracellular fluid (ECF)—the fluid outside the cells; includes
interstitial fluid (fluid between cells), blood, lymph, bone, and
connective tissue water; also includes transcellular fluids (fluids
in special body spaces), cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid,
peritoneal fluid, and pleural fluid; accounts for about 1/3 (about
15 L) of total body water
Intracellular fluid (ICF)—the fluid inside of cells; accounts for
the remaining 2/3 (about 25 L) of total body water
Question 3 0. pts
Exercise 1 - Question 3
Describe the pathophysiology for dehydration and identify key clinical
manifestations.
Your Answer:
In dehydration; fluid intake or retention is less than what is needed to
meet the body's fluid needs, resulting in a deficit of fluid volume,
especially plasma volume. It can occur without an actual loss of total body

water such as when water shifts from the plasma into the interstitial
space.
Manifestations of dehydration includes, but is not limited too:
Hemorrhage
Diarrhea
Ileostomy
Burns
Severe wounds
Long-term NPO status
GI Suction
Diabetes insipidus.
