<TD>What are the problems if body water levels drop too low?</TD>
 
<TD><FONT  COLOR="#FFFFFF">
 
* 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</font></TD>

<TD>What are the problems if body water levels get too great?</TD>
 
<TD><FONT  COLOR="#FFFFFF">
 
* Oedema
 
* Increased blood volume and therefore pressure could damage the CVS
 
* A decrease in solute concentrations disrupt normal cell function</font></TD>

<TD>If you take a fat and a thin cow, which will have the most body water and why?</TD>
 
<TD><FONT  COLOR="#FFFFFF">
 
The thin cow as adipose tissue contains little water</font></TD>

<TD>Metabolic water is derived from which reaction?</TD>

<TR>
 
<TD>What is "insensible water loss"?</TD>
 
<TD><FONT  COLOR="#FFFFFF">Insensible water loss is water loss which cannot be sensed by the individual and tends to be a response to thermoregulation rather than being a regulated process of water homeostasis</font></TD>

<TD>As milk yield increases how does this effect water intake?
 
*A - Water intake increases more than milk yield
 
*B - Increases in water intake match milk production litre for litre
 
*C - Water intake increases but not as much as milk yield</TD>
