Why and how does the ECF differ from the ICF?
The acronym ECF stands for extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of the cell in the human body.
What is the best explanation for the inability of an animal cell to reduce the Ca concentration in its cytosol compared with the extracellular fluid?
insufficient ATP levels in the cytoplasm
What is the importance and function of cytosol to the brain?
Cytosol is the fluid found inside cells and is the medium where cellular metabolism takes place. It has a slightly different composition to the fluid found outsides cells (extracellular fluid). In neurons, this difference in fluid composition is critical for cell signaling because it creates an electrochemical potential gradient across the cell membrane. When ions flux in and out of the cell (driven by chemical gradients and 'ion pumps') their charge alters the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane (i.e., think of the membrane as an insulator separating positive and negative charges). If enough positive charge enters a neuron then it will fire (release it's neurotransmitters).
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Extracellular.
What is cytosol and does it contain?
Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm surrounding the organelles. Cytosol does not actually contain organelles.

Do neuroglia regulate extracellular fluid composition?
Yes, reguarly too. When they get bored they are like, 'Dude, lets' regulate extracellular fluid composition'. 'That sounds like a great idea!'
Semifluid portion of the cytoplasm is the?
All cells are surrounded by some type of body fluid, called extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluids include interstitial fluid (found in tissues), plasma (in blood), lymph (in lymphatic vessels), and cerebrospinal fluid (found around the brain and spinal cord). Cells also contain fluid inside them, called intracellular fluid, also known as cytosol. Your answer is: Cytosol Attn: Luisa Samayoa
Helps regulate the ionic composition of CNS extracellular fluid?

Difference between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid?
Cytoplasm is the inner part of the cell or its the contents of the cell, which is surrounded by plasma membrane. While extracellular fluid is the fluid located outside of the cells and divided into 1.plasma in the blood vessel. 2.interstitial fluid between the cells.
Is plasma intracellular or extracellular?
Chloride is an Anion in Extracellular Fluid
What is found in extracellular fluid?
The principal elements in the extracellular fluid are sodium, potassium and calcium.
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Extracellular.
Where is the extracellular fluid found in the body?
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
What is cytosol and does it contain?
Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm surrounding the organelles. Cytosol does not actually contain organelles.
