LESSON 7.1 FLUIDS EVERYWHERE • FLUIDS ARE MATERIALS THAT HAVE NO FIXED SHAPE AND ARE FREE TO FLOW, SUCH AS LIQUIDS AND GASES. • WATER AND AIR (OXYGEN) ARE TWO OF THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF FLUIDS BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER FLUIDS THAT WE ENCOUNTER DURING OUR DAILY ROUTINES SUCH AS JUICE, KETCHUP, AND MAPLE SYRUP JUST TO NAME A FEW. • NOT ONLY TO WE USE FLUIDS TO STAY ALIVE (WATER AND AIR) BUT MOST OF THE HUMAN BODY IS MADE UP OF FLUIDS. • THE FOLLOWING IS A CHART OF LIQUIDS USED BY HUMANS:
TYPE OF FLUID • HOW IT IS USED BY THE BODY • OXYGEN • HELPS TO RELEASE ENERGY FROM FOOD FOR THE BODY • BLOOD • ACTS AS A TRANSPORT SYSTEM TO TAKE MINERALS TO YOUR CELLS AND COLLECT WASTE FROM CELLS FOR REMOVAL FROM YOUR BODY • SWEAT • HELPS TO COOL DOWN YOUR BODY (INTERNALLY) WHEN IT IS WARM OR HOT • SALIVA • LUBRICATES FOOD FOR SALLOWING AND BEGINS CHEMICAL DIGESTION • URINE • HELPS TO ELIMINATE DISSOLVED WASTES FROM YOUR BODY • STOMACH ACID • AIDS WITH THE CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN AND DIGESTION OF FOOD
SOME OF THE SYSTEMS IN YOUR BODY THAT USE FLUIDS TO HELP YOU FUNCTION ARE: THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM AND THE URINARY SYSTEM. • BLOOD WORKS IN YOUR BODY BY PICKING UP WASTE IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM. ONCE IT IS IN THE BLOOD STREAM, BLOOD IS FILTERED BY YOUR KIDNEYS AND THEN THE WASTE IS TAKEN OUT OF YOUR BODY IN THE FORM OF URINE. • WHEN YOUR KIDNEYS ARE UNABLE TO DO THIS ON THEIR OWN, PEOPLE REQUIRE A KIDNEY DIALYSIS. • KIDNEY DIALYSIS IS WHEN A MACHINE THAT IS HOOKED UP TO YOU WILL TAKE BLOOD OUT OF YOUR BODY, CLEAN IT, AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO YOUR BODY FOR YOU. • THIS PROCESS USUALLY TAKES 3-4 HOURS IN A HOSPITAL
