What is the role of water?
-Water provides the body’s transport and reactive medium
-Diffusion of gases always takes place across surfaces moistened by water

-Water, due to its heat-stabilizing qualities, absorbs considerable heat with only minimal changes in temperature
-Watery fluids lubricate joints, keeping bony surfaces from grinding against each other (ligaments)
-Being non-compressible, water provides structure and form to the body through the pressure it has on cellular tissue
