The human body is consisted of 60 % of water in adult males. In adult females, it is 55 % of water. The body is broken down into the following compartments: * Intracellular fluid makes up ( 2/3) of body water. * Extracellular fluid makes up ( 1/3) of body water. To Be Summarized: * Total Body Water = 60% of Body Weight * Intracellular fluid = 40% of Body Weight * Extracellular fluid = 20% of Body Weight Question Answered By: Ali Sabah Al-Takmachi, UOS, College: Medicine
