Question

All the homeostatic processes that monitor and adjust the composition of body fluids respond to changes: (a) in the ICF. (b) in the ECF. (c) inside the cell. (d) a, b, and c are correct.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Two illustrations of factors that govern homeostatically are temperature and water content. The processes that conserve homeostasis of these two components summon as thermoregulation and osmoregulation.

 

Step 2

 

 

Answer : Option(d) a, b, and c are correct.

Explanation for  the answer :

As the percentage of the fluid in the body and the materials establish within is critical for the supervision of intracellular and extracellular functions pivotal to survival, the body has evolved mechanisms to regulate compartment composition tightly. Several clinical pathologies can modify the fluid configuration and its constituents in the numerous cavities of the human body, which can have harmful consequences on our health and often assign intensive interventions to monitor and conserve normal physiological conditions.

Of the 42L of water found in the body, two-thirds of it is within the intracellular fluid area, which correlates to 28L.  In the ECFV, one-third of the total body water is which is comparable to 14L. Out of the extracellular fluid volume, 75% or 10.5L of the quantity is present in the interstitial space, and in the plasma, 25% of that water is, which is equal to 3.5L. Each area helps in United with each other and has distinct processes paramount for natural physiological function.
