Question
Chapter 41.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effects on the distribution of water in an animal’s body if a blood vessel was damaged and leaked its content internally.
Introduction: Water is the main component in the bodies of animals. Many solutes ions such as Na+ and K+ are dissolved in the water content of the body. Water and ions maintain the homeostasis of the organism.

Students have asked these similar questions
a) The process by which salmon maintain an internal balance is called osmoregulation. Describe how salmon achieve osmoregulation as they migrate between fresh and saltwater environments.
b) Describe what happens to salmon in fresh water. What direction do solutes tend to move via diffusion? What direction does water tend to move via osmosis?
Imagine a saltwater fish is placed into freshwater. What would happen on a cellular level? How are fish like salmon, who spend the first part of their life in the ocean and then travel to freshwater to spawn, able to overcome potential physiological consequences? Describe three adaptations salmon use to overcome the salinity changes encountered.
Most marine invertebrates are osmotic conformers. How does their body fluid differ from that of sharks and rays, which are also in near osmotic equilibrium with their environment?
