When an organism has sweated a great deal and has not drank much water, this will be detected as:
A
Low blood pressure
B
Low blood volume
C
High blood concentration
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Less water also hampers the body’s attempts at regulating temperature, which can cause hyperthermia (a body temperature greatly above normal). At a cellular level, “shrinkage” occurs as water is effectively borrowed to maintain other stores, such as the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -As sweat evaporates from your skin, it removes heat from the body, but you also lose body fluid. You need to drink fluid during exercise to replace the fluids you lose when you sweat. That way, you’ll reduce the risk of heat stress, maintain normal body function, and maintain performance levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration is the process of losing body water (eg, during exercise). Dehydration causes in a decrease in sweat rate during exercise, which results in a decreased ability for the body to cool through evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Excess water in the body causes the body’s salt levels to go down and the cells to swell. This swelling causes them to grow in size, and those in the brain press against the skull. This pressure causes a throbbing headache and may lead to brain impairment and trouble breathing.
