Question

if a person drinks a very large amount of water in short time without consuming any salt,this can result in confusion,seizures,coma or even death due to abnormal functioning of nerve cells in the brain.explain how these problems could result from drinking too much water too rapidly

Answer 1

Answer:

Drinking too much water too quickly, often known as "water intoxication," produces an imbalance in sodium and other electrolytes, and water flows from your blood to inside your cells, causing them to swell. This kind of swelling is severe and needs quick medical attention, especially if it occurs inside the brain.

Explanation:

• When the usual balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of acceptable limits by excessive water intake, it leads in water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, hyperhydration, overhydration, or water toxaemia, a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functioning.
• Human kidneys filter blood via their millions of convoluted tubules to regulate how much water, salt, and other solutes leave the body.
• A person's blood becomes saturated when they consume too much water in a short amount of time because their kidneys are unable to remove it quickly enough.
• Excess water leaves the circulation and eventually enters the cells, which swell like balloons to accommodate it as it is drawn to areas with higher concentrations of salt and other dissolved elements.
• The majority of cells can expand because they are implanted in elastic tissues like muscle and fat, but this is not the case for neurons.
• As a result, brain swelling or edoema can be fatal.
• Rapid and severe water intoxication results in water entering brain cells, which produces swelling in the brain.
• This swelling causes seizures, comas, respiratory arrests, herniated brain stems, and death.
