heatstroke - the most serious condition related to dehydration, occurs
when the body’s internal temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
The body’s cooling capacity fails and sweating stops. Symptoms
include hot and dry skin, fainting, confusion, poor coordination, and
seizures.
heat cramps- when fluids are replaced but sodium levels in the body
are low. Exercising over long periods in high temperatures can lead to
painful contractions of the skeletal muscle.
heat exhaustion- can occur when temperatures and humidity levels are
high. As humidity rises, sweat becomes an inefficient way to keep the
body cool. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include profuse sweating,
dizziness, nausea/vomiting, muscle weakness, fatigue, and skin
flushing.
these conditions are caused from dehydration. atmospheric conditions
and lack of water in the body can have severe and potentially fatal
impacts on body function. water regulates body temperature, allows
sweating to occur, transports waste products so they don't build up in
the cells, and increases blood volume. if more than 3% of your body
weight in water is lost, the above fatal conditions may occur.

Heat cramps (caused by a lack of sodium, symptoms
include pain caused by contractions of the skeletal muscle)

Your Answer:
While poverty is a cause for undernutrition common in both developed
and developing countries, what are some causes of undernutrition
unique to the developing nations with the most widespread
undernutrition? List at least three.
Millions are simply either unable to acquire enough food for everyone in
their family or the quality and variety of the foods are inadequate to
meet their nutrient needs. When such conditions occur, it is known as
food insecurity.
population growth, depletion of farmland and water, war and political
unrest
Population growth that exceeds the ability to produce food,
depletion of farmland and water sources, war and political
unrest, and insufficient sanitation.
