Question 2 0. pts
Exercise 1 - Question 2
Identify the two main water (fluid) compartments in the body
and describe the composition of each.
Your Answer:
This water is divided into main compartments (spaces)--the
fluid outside of the cells (extracellular fluid [ECF]) and the fluid
inside the cells (intracellular fluid [ICF]).
Extracellular fluid (ECF)—the fluid outside the cells;
includes interstitial fluid (fluid between cells), blood,
lymph, bone, and
connective tissue water; also includes transcellular
fluids (fluids in special body spaces), cerebrospinal
fluid, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and pleural fluid;
accounts for about 1/3 (about 15 L) of total body water
Intracellular fluid (ICF)—the fluid inside of cells;
accounts for the remaining 2/3 (about 25 L) of total
body water
