To analyze:
Source of water taken in by blood when its volume decreases due to excessive sweating.
Introduction:
Blood is a liquid connective tissue that is pumped by the hurt to all parts of the body through the blood vessels. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, enzymes, waste material to the respective organs. It is important for the body to maintain a particular concentration of the blood so that the vital organs keep functioning properly.
Explanation of Solution
When the blood volume decreases due to excessive sweating the extra amount of water is taken in from the interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present between various organs. All the body organs baths inside the interstitial fluid. In case of an emergency, the blood vessels can absorb water from interstitial fluid to make up to the volume lost due to excessive sweating or dehydration.
The volume of the blood loss due to excessive sweating is compensated by the absorption fo the interstitial fluid present between the various organs of the body.

She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes.
