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.
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
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
What can be found in the lumen of a transverse tubule?
Extracellular fluid
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Extracellular.
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?

Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
What is extracellular fluid?
