The Function Of Fluids
In Humans & Vehicles
Comparative:
PROTECTION
Motor Oil
Motor oil reduces the friction between the constantly moving engine parts to prevent damage.
Sebum
Skin Oil or Sebum Lubricates the skin to reduce friciton and to counteract skin irritation and inflammation, usally caused by foreign microbes or substances. In other words, it acts a minor barrier. It also contains a small amout of antibacterial matter.
Synovial Fluids
Synovial Fluid is used to cushion the impact placed on synovial joints (e.g: elbows and knees) during daily activities. This already viscous fluid is a dilatant, meaning that it becames more viscous under pressure, reducing friction even more efficiently. Due to it's yolk-like consistency it is and acts as a "shock-absorber" that protects your joints and bones.

Battery Acid | Intracellular Fluid
|
Intracellular Fluid: like Battery Fluid contains large amounts positively charged ions which make it possible for it to be used as a medium in which Electro-Chemical messages are sent through the body to repair and revive cells.
Gasoline | Gastric Acid
|
Gastric Acid: As well as Digestive Enzymes is used the body to break down foods such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins which is then converted into energy which the body is able to use to for many tasks. The hydrochloric acid present in Gastric Acids also helps turn the solid food into a liquid that makes digestion possible.
