~~==The Importance of Maintaining Adequate Levels of Water==~~

−

~~====Too Little Water====~~

−

* Inadequate perfusion due to low blood volume

−

* A build up of waste products due to insufficient urine volume

−

* Increased solute concentrations affect cell function

−

* Inability to sweat and control body temperature

−

* Death

−

~~====Too Much Water====~~

−

* Oedema

−

* Increased blood volume and therefore pressure could damage the CVS

−

* A decrease in solute concentrations disrupt normal cell function
