The ultimate cause of death due to dehydration is a fluid/volume shift that causes structural changes to cells and cellular proteins. Which of the following correctly describes the steps that lead to this lethal fluid/volume shift? 39. A. Extracellular osm.pressure increases.which leads to an increase in total-body- water. Water then moves out of cells. B. A net water loss causes intracellular osm.-press. to decrease. Water then moves out of cells. C. A net water loss causes extracellular osm.-press. to decrease; total-body-water increases and fluid movesout of cells. d to transfe D. A net water loss causes total-body-water to decrease and extracellular osm-press to increase. Water then moves down its' concentration gradient (out of cells) into the extracellular space.
