Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dehydration is the condition where water is lost from the body, often due to excessive sweating or inadequate fluid intake, which results in a rise in the concentration of solutes in body fluids. Hemolysis refers to the destruction of red blood cells, and osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Water intoxication occurs when there is an excessive intake of water, leading to dilution of body fluids and disruption of electrolyte balance.
