Is plasma intracellular or extracellular?
Chloride is an Anion in Extracellular Fluid
What walls separate the two extracellular fluid compartments?
Walls of the circulatory system separate the two extracellular fluid compartments
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.
The client was admitted to the hospital for dehydration Explain what changes occur in extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments during dehydration?
Fluid is lost from the intracellular compartment due to sweating which is replaced by fluid from the interstitial compartment by osmosis which then pulls fluid from the intravascular compartment by osmosis.
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.
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
Does lymph includes extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid?
intracellular fluid
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?

What walls separate the two extracellular fluid compartments?
Walls of the circulatory system separate the two extracellular fluid compartments
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.
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.
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)
The client was admitted to the hospital for dehydration Explain what changes occur in extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments during dehydration?
Fluid is lost from the intracellular compartment due to sweating which is replaced by fluid from the interstitial compartment by osmosis which then pulls fluid from the intravascular compartment by osmosis.
What is the Most abundant positive electrolyte in extracellular fluid?
Sodium ion is the most concentrated ion in the extracellular fluid.
What forces move fluid from intracellular to extracellular spaces?
Capillary hydrostatic force
