How would changes in blood flow o specific organs help someone resist dehydration? Consider how reduction of function in particular organ systems might help conserve water
Answered by Mel
During dehydration the volume of plasma in the blood is low which reduces blood flow to organs. When the body observes this change in blood viscosity it will reduce organ activity to conserve ATP, cool the body down, and reduce water loss. Cooling down the body will prevent water loss through perspiration.
