The Role of Water In The Human Bod

Water plays several roles in the human body: structural, as the main component of the organism; that of general biologic environment, in which numerous chemical reactions that define the vital process take place; a biochemical role,the bipolar character of the water molecule allowing it to be joined with both positive and negative ions; great thermic regulator – the vanishing of a gram of water from the surface of the skin is followed by the loss of 560 mcal; it participates in the cells'morphogenesis – because of a great superficial tension in thin layers, the water acquires elastic properties, protecting the vital organs and represents a buffer for the joints.
