Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect on the osmotic concentration of the blood when the person is in the desert without water for a day.

Introduction:

Dehydration is the loss of water or the scarcity of water inside the body. This occurs when the loss of water is more than the gain of water. Water can be lost through sweat glands and urine. If the body is undergoing dehydration, it can damage many organs as water is the primary requirement for every metabolic reaction.
