Our bodies contain a large amount of water, typically between 50 and 70 percent of our total body mass. The majority of this is in the approximately 30 trillion cells that make up the body, while the rest is in fluids such as the blood. ---- This transport role is more obvious, for example, when carrying material around the bloodstream. It also lubricates, dissolves valuable chemicals, and acts as a shock absorber for organs, so it is hard to find a part of the body where water does not play a role ─ even bones are around one-third water.
