Term
Water Losses...
Definition
 
nUrine, feces, insensible water (lungs, skin), sweat
n 
Loss from lungs, skin, kidney is continuous
nWater in urine is a solvent for excretion products
nBirds: uric acid rather than urea, little water
nFecal losses of water in humans: 7-10% of urinary water
Term
True or False: 
nIn ruminants, fecal water loss may exceed urinary losses
Definition
TRUE
Term
