Identify routes of fluid loss from the body.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water can be lost through a variety of routes, but Option C accurately identifies the most common and significant ones: urination, evaporation at skin and lungs, and in feces. Option A is incorrect because saliva and gastric secretions do not significantly contribute to fluid loss; Option B is incorrect because anabolism and bile production do not directly contribute to fluid loss; Option D is incorrect because while both catabolism and anabolism can lead to fluid loss, they are not the primary routes; and Option E is incorrect because evaporation at skin and lungs is already included in Option C, and catabolism alone is not a significant route of fluid loss.
