| The
uses of water in the body: |
(1)
It enters into the chemical composition of the tissues;
(2) it forms the chief ingredient of all the fluids of the body and
maintains their proper degree of dilution;
(3) by moistening various surfaces of the body, such as the mucous and
serous membranes, it prevents friction and the uncomfortable symptoms
which might result from drying;
(4) it furnishes in the blood and lymph a fluid medium by which food
may be taken to remote parts of the body and the waste matter removed,
thus promoting rapid tissue changes;
(5) it serves as a distributer of body heat;
(6) it regulates the body temperature by the physical processes of
absorption and evaporation.
