GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skin helps in maintaining water balance in the body by preventing excess water loss through skin by evaporation. The skin plays a role in excretion through the production of sweat by sweat glands. Sweating eliminates excess water, salts and a small amount of urea.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your skin is water proof. It has a water-holding capacity that contributes to its elasticity and helps maintain the body’s balance of fluid and electrolytes. Regulating body temperature-When your body is hot, tiny blood vessels in the skin enlarge, permitting internal heat to escape through a process called radiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water balance is achieved in the body by ensuring that the amount of water consumed in food and drink (and generated by metabolism) equals the amount of water excreted. The consumption side is regulated by behavioral mechanisms, including thirst and salt cravings.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kidney plays a major role in the control of water balance by its ability to adjust water excretion independently of solute excretion. In other words, a given solute load can be excreted in a variable volume of urine according to water availability.
