Answer:

What happens is the dehydration phenomenon.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of dehydration occurs because when you are at sea for many days, you breathe the salty mist that occurs on the surface of the sea (which is even greater at night), this mist is high in solutes and salts that is why that when inhaled, the body will seek to increase blood volume to lower the plasma concentrations of these solutes in the blood.

Also, during breathing, a lot of water is lost and other physiological processes are why we need a daily consumption of water.

In the case of this situation where the person is abandoned, water consumption is low.

The consequences of dehydration are serious, since there is hypotension, decreased blood volume, hypovolemic shock, loss of consciousness and even possible death.
