What else can I help you with?
Is the extracellular fluid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
The extracellular fluid is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
Extracellular fluid would not include?
Cells and intracellular components are not part of the extracellular fluid, as it is found outside of cells within the body. Intracellular fluid would not be considered part of the extracellular fluid.
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 separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
Cell membranes separate the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. The intracellular fluid is contained within the cells, while the extracellular fluid surrounds the cells. Transport proteins in the cell membrane regulate the movement of substances between these compartments.
What walls separate the two extracellular fluid compartments?
The plasma membrane of cells separates the interstitial fluid (between cells) from the blood plasma. In addition, the blood vessels' walls, composed of endothelial cells, create a physical barrier between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluid.
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
Does extracellular fluid equal ground substance?
No, extracellular fluid and ground substance are two different components found in tissues. Extracellular fluid is the fluid found outside of cells in the body, while ground substance is a gel-like substance present in the extracellular matrix that contains water, ions, and macromolecules like proteoglycans and glycoproteins.
What is found in extracellular fluid?
The principal elements in the extracellular fluid are sodium, potassium and calcium.
Is the extracellular fluid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
The extracellular fluid is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
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.
Extracellular fluid would not include?
Cells and intracellular components are not part of the extracellular fluid, as it is found outside of cells within the body. Intracellular fluid would not be considered part of the extracellular fluid.
What is extracellular fluid AND where is it found?
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
Is blood considered as extra cellular fluid?
in some animals there are two major subcompartments of extracellular fluid. intestinal fluid and blood plasma.
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 total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
Plasma is considered part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes fluid within the interstitial spaces, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Extracellular fluid is further classified into intravascular (plasma) and interstitial fluids.
