Dehydration is a process that occurs in the body (and elswhwere). It is not a body system. There are nine (9) body systems, and to remember them remember the following: RED RUM CIN, as in: Respiratory, Endocrine, Digestive, Reproductive, Urinary, Musculoskeletal, Circulatory, Integumentary (skin), and Nervous.

One of the adverse effects of dehydration on the body is an excess accumulation of salts. In the worst scenario, someone may experience hallucinations, unconsciousness and death.
