Intracellular fluid is the cytosol of cytoplasm, a fluid located within the membrane of tissue cells. The proteins that are located within the cytosol act as intracellular receptors also play an important role in glycolysis and signal transduction pathways. These proteins form part of ribosomes, thus helping to enable protein synthesis. There are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. All chemical reactions in the case of prokyrates take place within cytosol whereas the cell organelles are contained by the cytosol collectively known as "cytoplasm" as in the case of eukaryotes. Cytosol has about 20% to 30% of protein and the details cytosol consists mostly of water, dissolved ions, large soluble water molecules such as protein as well as small molecules.

What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
What is the major cation in the intracellular fluid?
potassium
What is the normal pH of intracellular fluid?
7.2
What is The concetration of glucose in intracellular fluid?
The concentration of glucose in intracellular fluid is very low. Glucose is typically converted to glycogen within the body's 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.
Does lymph includes extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid?
intracellular fluid
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?

What is The concetration of glucose in intracellular fluid?
The concentration of glucose in intracellular fluid is very low. Glucose is typically converted to glycogen within the body's cells.
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Extracellular.
What way does oxygen get into the cells?
Diffusion from the intracellular fluid.
