your hands shrivel up? just wondering.

Because your skin absorbs the water. :)

its being dehydrated because of osmosis...i'll explain later'

Because, you just do.

 

:P :D

because we are actually evolved from shrimps :o

lol haha

yer my teacher sed sumfink about that....wern`t takin it in tho lol :lol:

ok so this is what goes down........

 

since there is a lesser concentration of salt in the water as there is in your hands, the salt in your hands moves from inside your cells and mixes with the water molecules. that is why it appears that your hands shrivle.....it isn't because ur hands absorbe that water........

 

well at least thats what i think happens.....unless my biology teacher mr. Ross is wrong :/

aye thats what i was taught to

 

due to concentration differences between the salts in the skin (sweat) and salts in the water, the salt from your body leaves due to osmosis, and tries to balance the amount of salt in body and water....i think this is why Epsom Salt baths are good for you, because the salt concentration in the water is higher so you dont wrinkle as much...anyone wanna try it?

OR it's because you are an ALIEN!

 

AHHHHHH *runs aways screaming* ahhHHHHHH *runs back* I'm an alien too... Hello! :nice:

There was like an entire episode of "Seinfeld" on just this topic, with George's twig shriveling up after a swim, and he's changing clothes and his girlfriend's friend walks in on him, sees his manhood and it being all small and shrivelled up, gives out a smirk/laugh and walks away! :lol: and George is like....wwaaitttt!!! it's not me!! it's the water!!! lmao :D :P
