THE FLUID BODY

Homeostasis

________ is maintained by the body through the use of feedback loops, which are primarily coordinated by the body's principal control systems, which are the nerves and hormones.

biochemical events

The ________ that take place within cells are finely tailored to certain variables, such as the quantities of oxygen, acidity, water, and temperature.

little resistance

Fluids also serve the function as lubricants, allowing tissues and organs to glide past one another with very ________.

Lymph vessels

________ are responsible for collecting the fluid and reintroducing it into the bloodstream after it has been processed.

Homeostasis

________ is dependent on the participation of many different systems.

fluid

The "_" that travels through the body at the quickest rate is the blood.

Plasma

one of its liquid components, is constantly engaged in fluid exchange with a variety of different bodily systems and structures.

intracellular fluid

which is sometimes referred to as cytoplasm.

extracellular fluid

Everything else that makes up fluid in the body is made up of

Interstitial fluid

which is found in the spaces between cells and tissues

blood plasma and lymph

the fluids that are found in bones, joints, and dense connective tissue

transcellular fluid

which is comprised of saliva, mucus, sweat, and urine.

water

is responsible for the transportation of waste products and the distribution of nutrients throughout the body.

White blood cells

and other compounds such as lipids and proteins are carried through the lymphatic system by lymph fluid.

Blood plasma

is responsible for transporting numerous cells and substances throughout the body, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and a vast range of nutrients and chemicals.

EQUILIBRIUM

The biochemical events that take place within cells are finely tailored to certain variables, such as the quantities of oxygen, acidity, water, and temperature.

Sensors

pick up on this and send the information back to the brain, where it is processed by the brain's homeostatic regions, which then triggers the regulating actions

respiratory system

is responsible for ensuring that adequate levels of oxygen are present

digestive system

is responsible for ingesting nutrients and processing them

circulatory system

is responsible for distributing oxygen and nutrients as well as gathering waste products, which are then eliminated by the urinary and respiratory systems.
