Water is very important in regulating our blood volume. Our blood volume affects blood  pressure, how much we pee and urine concentration (dilute or concentrated).  When we are  dehydrated, our blood volume decreases causing a low blood pressure.

When the hypothalamus, detects low blood volume  or little water in our blood, it signals the release of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which  causes the kidney to remove less water in and to return blood pressure back to normal. THE RESULT ; We urinate less and our urine is usually more concentrated and darker in  color.  STAY HYDRATED

Immune system consists of network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect our body from infectious organism such as bacteria, virus etc. Our immune system destroys any foreign particles that tries to invade our body by mounting an immune response.  Our immune system is designed to identify self from non-self. Self are molecules such as proteins, that are a part of our body. Non-self refers to particles that are not made by the body. Our body recognizes this substance as potentially harmful. Example of non-self-particles are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These organisms produce proteins called antigens that allow our body to recognize them as harmful. How the skin protects us from these harmful invaders; Skin; our skin is the first line of defense against pathogens. It is easier for germs to get into our body and cause an infection when there is a break in our skin.  The skin is the...
