Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
Plasma is considered part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes fluid within the interstitial spaces, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Extracellular fluid is further classified into intravascular (plasma) and interstitial fluids.
Blood plasma makes up about 20-25% of the extracellular fluid in the body. The other main component of extracellular fluid is interstitial fluid, which makes up the remaining 75-80%.
The intracelluar fluid is negative with respect to the extracellular fluid.
The cytosol contains a higher concentration of proteins and lower levels of sodium ions compared to extracellular fluid. Additionally, the cytosol houses various organelles and structures that are not present in the extracellular fluid.
The principal elements in the extracellular fluid are sodium, potassium and calcium.
The extracellular fluid is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
Cells and intracellular components are not part of the extracellular fluid, as it is found outside of cells within the body. Intracellular fluid would not be considered part of the extracellular fluid.
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
Plasma is considered part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes fluid within the interstitial spaces, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Extracellular fluid is further classified into intravascular (plasma) and interstitial fluids.
intracellular fluid
Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.
in some animals there are two major subcompartments of extracellular fluid. intestinal fluid and blood plasma.
