Fluid balance is when the quantity of water we gain each day is equivalent to the amount we lose to the environment. The upkeep of normal fluid balance includes regulating the content and sharing of body water in the ECF and the ICF. The digestive system is the main source of water gains; a small amount of extra water is generated by metabolic activity. With electrolyte balance‚ it involves balancing the amounts of absorption across the digestive tract with amounts of loss at the kidneys. Everyday

Chapter 1 - The Human Body Anatomy is the science relating to the structural organisation of living organisms. Physiology is the science relating to the operational functions of living organisms. The many parts and systems of the body are integrated and function co-operatively to provide a healthy living body via 6 hierarchy levels of structural organisation. The basic or first level is the Chemical Level‚ where atoms are combined to form molecules. The second level is the Cellular Level

Discussion Essay 1 The study of Human Anatomy and Physiology is deemed as a "gateway" to a career in Nursing and Allied Health. Not only is Anatomy and Physiology a gateway into a career in nursing‚ it’s the only way to get into a nursing program or to even be considered to become a nurse/doctor. Ask any college about their prerequisites for nursing and one of them will most certainly be a passing grade if not a B average in Anatomy and Physiology.
