Description
Aside from being a convenient distance from the sun and having an atmosphere, the presence of water on Earth results in the proliferation of living creatures. Indeed, this deceptively simple molecule of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen (H2O) provides the medium where life-sustaining chemical reactions take place and is absolutely essential to the survival of all organisms. While humans can go without food for thirty to forty days, without water, we will die in five days or less.
Your body is composed of approximately 70 percent water and accounts for one-half to four-fifths of your weight. The average adult body contains forty-five litres of water. Thirty of these litres, referred to as intracellular fluid, circulate within cells and there is a constant exchange of intra and extra-cellular fluid through cell membranes. Three litres circulate as blood plasma, carrying protein and other nutrients that pass through capillary walls. The remaining twelve litres, referred to as interstitial fluid, surround cells and are found in lymph and various other secretions.
