Extracellular fluid is found everywhere in the body EXCEPT?
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
What is the major anion in the extracellular fluids of the body?
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
Cells in the body have a fluid surrounding them What is the name of this fluid?
Interstitial fluid also called extracellular fluid.
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.
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.

Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
What is chief intracellular cation?
The chief intracellular cation in the human body is the potassium ion. On the other hand, the primary extracellular cation is the sodium ion. In is the actions of these ions that allow neurons to transmit electrical impulses.
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
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
Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
Fluids located outside a cell?
Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.
Which main nutrient is present in salt?
Salt = NaCl; therefore, if I understand the question correctly, we are really looking at what functions sodium and chloride serve in the body, after the salt is broken down. Na, Cl, and K are components of bodily fluids, and influence water balance in the body. Sodium: -Primary extracellular cation -Regulates size of extracellular fluid compartment as well as plasma volume Chloride: -Primary extracellular anion -Part of HCl in stomach NaCl helps support: -gonadal activity -adrenal function -adequate blood volume and pressure -(and others)
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
