Why glucose concentration decreases in all body fluids?

Glucose concentration decreases in body fluids when cells take up glucose for energy production, storage, or use in metabolic pathways. This uptake helps regulate blood glucose levels and maintain a balance in the body's energy supply. Additionally, insulin plays a key role in facilitating glucose uptake into cells, contributing to the decrease in glucose concentration in body fluids.

Why it is important for intravenous fluids to be of the same solute concentration as human blood?

Using intravenous fluids that are isotonic to human blood helps prevent cell shrinkage or swelling, which could cause harm. It also helps maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body, preventing complications. Matching the solute concentration reduces the risk of disrupting the body's normal functioning.
