Under normal conditions, some interstitial fluids slowly escape through the epidermis via a process called epidermis/trans-epidermal water loss.

Interstitial fluids are the fluids filled between the spaces present around the cells. This fluid is present due to the leakage of substances from the blood capillaries. It also aids in transport of oxygen, nutrients and removal of waste product from the cell.

Epidermis/trans-epidermal water loss is the passive evaporation of water from the skin. This is the reason why skin sometimes may feel very dry after a person wakes up. This evaporation happens de to the presence of water vapor gradient across both sides of the skin.

How would your body be affected if your pituitary gland was not working properly?
sweet [91]

 The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an <span>endocrine gland that consists of anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis). Adenohypophysis regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation) by secreting hormones. The neurohypophysis functionally connects the gland to the </span>hypothalamus. The intermediate lobe (between adeno and neurohypophysis) synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Because it controls a lot of functions inside the organism it can affect many things when it is not working properly (over- or under-production of pituitary hormones). It can cause diabetes insipidus by a deficiency of vasopressin, it can cause thyroid disorders, gigantism (too much growth hormone)…
