Water
Outline some functions of water
Water and salt balance, transport nutrients, body temperature, lubrication
Controls the retention and loss of water.
Kidneys
This condition, often caused by dehydration or excessive sweating, occurs when the sodium concentration in the blood rises above normal levels, making the blood hypertonic.
Hypernatremia

What is intracellular fluid?
fluids found inside a cell and makes up 2/3s of body fluid
This section of the nephron filters the blood and allows large molecules to pass through
glomerulus
If a person drinks way too much water too fast, they may develop this condition, where the blood becomes so hypotonic that water rushes into brain cells, causing them to swell.
hyponatremia

What is extracellular fluid?
1/3 of body fluid and found outside the cells
In this specific U-shaped segment of the nephron, the walls are permeable only to water, allowing it to leak out into the salty surroundings while trapping all salt and waste inside the tube.
descending loop of Henle
During a long run, your body loses water through sweat, making your blood hypertonic. This causes the osmoreceptors in your brain to shrink, triggering this primary behavioral symptom to prevent dehydration.
Thirst
I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

A hormone that acts on kidneys to regulate water balance in the body
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Unlike its 'water-only' partner, this waterproof section of the tube uses active pumps to push salt out into the kidney, making the surrounding area salty enough to pull water out later.
Ascending loop of Henle
This term describes the state of 'normal' or optimal total body water content, where the athlete is perfectly balanced and ready for peak physical performance.
Euhydration
I have keys, but no locks. I have a space, but no room. You can enter, but you can’t leave. What am I?

What is the difference between hypertonicity and hypotonicity?
hypertonicity is when you have high levels of salt to water levels ratio and vice versa for hypotonicity
Acting as the 'Final Decision Maker' for hydration, this part of the kidney stays waterproof until a specific brain hormone tells it to open 'trap doors' that let water return to the blood instead of becoming urine.
Collecting duct
Produced by the heart when blood pressure is too high, this hormone acts as a natural diuretic, telling the kidneys to stop reabsorbing sodium so that excess water is flushed out in the urine.
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) a diuretic hormone
