               General Introduction 
    The fluids in our bodies are composed of water 
      and dissolved substances, including electrolytes, 
      which are crucial for body function.
    We ingest water and electrolytes through the 
      gastrointestinal or GI tract.
         Movement of Fluids Through the Body
       1. Absorption. 
       These fluids are absorbed into the plasma in the 
         intestine.
       2. Circulation. 
       The fluids circulate within the plasma, bathing 
                              Body fluids 2015 - 2016
         the cells in the body.
       3. Excretion. 
       The kidneys remove excess ions and water from 
         the body through the urine, although water is 
         also lost at other sites, which will be described 
         later.
