To explain: The process by which excessive fluid is lost from the body during strenuous exercise on a very hot day.
Concept introduction: Fluid deficit in the body system leads to dehydration. Dehydration is the condition that is opposite to edema. Dehydration occurs due to inadequate intake of fluids or increased loss of fluids from the body or both. Dehydration that occurs due to increased fluid loss affects the extracellular compartment in a large scale. The weight of the person is used to measure the extent of dehydration qualitatively.
To explain: The way in which the body responds to excessive fluid loss during strenuous exercise to maintain homeostasis.
