In terms of location,ecf vary from the icf in that they are separated by the cell membranes. In terms of composition, the intracellular fluids are high in potassium and magnesium and low in sodium and chloride ions.

How do electromagnetic waves vary?
they vary due to their frequencies and wavelenght
Total initial momentum of two objects?
That may vary, depending on the initial velocity and mass.That may vary, depending on the initial velocity and mass.That may vary, depending on the initial velocity and mass.That may vary, depending on the initial velocity and mass.
Does inertia vary from place to place?
Inertia does not vary from place to place. Inertia is simply the tendency of an object to resist changing its state. Inertia (and, by extension, momentum) only vary in relation to the mass of an object, not where the object is located.
What Factor does not vary in a experiment?
constant
Does the sun fusion rate remain steady or vary widely?
It certainly doesn't vary widely, but there are small variations from year to year.
What aprroximate osmolarity in ecf and icf?
300 mMol
What happen When large amounts of pure water are consumed?
osmolarities of ECF and ICF decreases
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.
Are body fluids good conductors of current?
When a current is passed through the body, the water-containing fluids primarily conduct the electrical current. Water is found both inside the cells, intracellular fluid (ICF) and outside the cells, extracellular fluid (ECF). At low frequency, current passes through the ECF space and does not penetrate the cell membrane. At high frequencies however the current passes through both the ICF and ECF...
What amount of a persons total body water is plasma?
The body fluid is broken down into compartments, The ICF and the ECF. ICF is Intra-cellular fluid, which is the fluid inside the body's cells. This makes up 2/3 of your body's total fluid. ECF is is Extra-Cellular fluid, and found anywhere outside a cell. This makes up 1/3 of your body's total fluid amount. The ECF also contains the plasma which makes up about 1/3 of that, or roughly 3 Liters. The actual fluid levels are always changing depending on the situation, but the ratios remain constant.
What would happen if salt content of blood increases?
When the salt concentration in your blood rises, water is pulled from your Intracellular Fluid (ICF) into the blood or Extracellular Fluid (ECF). Increased fluids in the blood vessels stretches the blood vessels and causes increased Blood Pressure (BP). Increased BP induces a complicated protein cascade that leads to more salt and subsequently water being secreted from your kidneys. Secreting more water causes you to become dehydrated as your ICF and ECF re-equilibrate.
What does the cell memberance do?
The cell membrane acts as a barrier between the extracellular fluid (ECF) and the intracellular fluid (ICF) allowing the cell to selectively control its internal environment so that it can carry out complicated biochemical reactions in a stable environment.
What are ICF walls?
ICF is your face!
What is ICF International's population?
The population of ICF International is 2,012.
When was ICF International created?
ICF International was created in 1969.
What is the principal cation in extracellular fluid?
Sodium is the primary cation for ECF, potassium is the primary cation for ICF.
What ion plays the largest role in maintaining body fluid volume is?
Actually it is two: sodium and potassium because they and their regulators are so intertwined. But a very, very simple answer to your question, water always follows sodium. The principal ions in the ECF are sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate. The ICF contains an abundance of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate ions, plus large numbers of negatively charged proteins. Despite the differences in the concentration of specific substances, the osmotic concentrations of the ICF and ECF are identical. Osmosis eliminates minor differences in concentration almost at once, because most cell membranes are freely permeable to water. Sodium is the dominant cation in the ECF (Extra Cellular Fluid) Potassium is the dominant cation in the ICF (Inter Cellular Fluid). Two general rules concerning sodium balance and potassium balance are worth noting: The Most Common Problems with Electrolyte Balance Are Caused by an Imbalance between Gains and Losses of Sodium Ions. Problems with Potassium Balance Are Less Common, but Significantly More Dangerous than Are Those Related to Sodium Balance.
