1. BODY FLUIDSPRESENTATION
ByAyesha Nazir

2. • Body fluids, also known as bodily fluids or biofluids are liquids
found within the human body
• They play a vital role in various physiological processes, including
nutrient transport, waste removal, temperature regulation, and
lubrication.
• Approximately 60% of the total body weight in lean healthy adult
men is made up of body fluids, while the percentage is slightly
lower in women (52-55%).
BODY FLUIDS

3. Here are some specific examples of body fluids:
• Blood: Blood is the most abundant body fluid, accounting for
about 8% of the total body weight.
• It is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells,
and platelets.
• Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout
the body and removes waste products.
EXAMPLES

4. 1. Saliva: Saliva is a clear, watery fluid produced by salivary glands in the
mouth. It helps moisten food, lubricates the mouth, and initiates the
digestion process.
2. Sweat
3. Lymph
4. Milk

5. Body fluids can be classified into two main categories based
on their location:
1. Intracellular fluid (ICF): This fluid is found inside cells and
accounts for about 40% of the total body weight. It contains
various electrolytes, proteins, and other molecules essential
for cellular functions.
2. Extracellular fluid (ECF): This fluid is found outside cells
and makes up about 20% of the total body weight.

TYPES OF BODY FLUIDS

7. There are two further types of extracellular fluids given as below:
1. Intravascular fluid (IVF): This fluid is found within the
blood vessels and consists of plasma, red blood cells, white
blood cells, and platelets.
2. It plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients, oxygen, and
waste products throughout the body.
TYPES EXTRACELLULAR FLUIDS

8. 2. Interstitial fluid (ISF): This fluid is found in the spaces
between cells and provides a medium for nutrient and waste
exchange between cells and blood vessels.
• It also helps maintain tissue structure and lubrication.

10. Body fluids are essential for maintaining life and health. They play
a crucial role in various physiological processes, including:
• Transport of nutrients and oxygen
• Removal of waste products
• Regulation of body temperature
• Lubrication and protection
• Immune function
• Acid-base balance
• Hormone transport
IMPORTANCE OF BODY FLUIDS

11. • Dehydration manifests clinically as decreased urine output,
dizziness, fatigue, tachycardia, increased skin turgidity, and
fatigue or confusion in severe cases.
• Whenever possible, oral fluid replacement should be
attempted.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BODY FLUID
DECREASES?

12. • The extra fluid in your body can raise your blood pressure and
force your heart to work harder.
• It can also make it hard for you to breathe. Most of your body
is made up of water. The body uses minerals likesodium and
potassium to help organs such as your heart, kidneys, and liver
balance how much water you need.

INCREASE?
