Sunken eyes.

Dehydration is a condition in which the rate at which the body looses t fluids is higher than the rate at which it takes fluids in.

It is caused by diarrhoea( watery stools )

2.Excessive sweating.

3 vomiting continusly.

4. No access to water intake

5.Polyuria(excessive urination)

6.Fever leading to hyperthermia.

The kidney is the main organ where the effect of dehydration is managed . As a result of increase in the solute potential of the blood,;the hypothalamus secrets ADH hormones which stimulates the Aquaporins(transmembrane proteins in the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubules) to open .Therefore water moves in by osmosis to reduce the higher solute potential of the blood. Therfore low volume,high concentrated urine is produced.

This homeostatic function of the kidney ensures balanced in the electrolyte fluids of the body to manage dehydration,before medical intervention.

Are the counts of blue crabs in Maryland accurate for 1991 and 1999?
kirill [66]
The population of blue crabs will be difficult for the scientists to count because of unreliable ways and natural phenomenon or occurrence that causes the water's temperature to rise. According to climate reports, year 1999 have warmer temperature and this probably caused the blue crabs to be active, but on year 1990 female blue crabs sustained a normal quantity of production of their species. Thus, the estimated count of population of blue crabs is probably more accurate in year 1990 than year 1999 because of the stable production of the female crabs.
