Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
What is the most abundant anion in extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid refers to all body fluid outside of cells. The most abundant anion in the extracellular fluid is chloride (Cl-).
Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?
hormones
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 is The major anion in body fluids is?
chloride

The total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
extracellular
What is the medium for all body fluids?
Extracellular fluid (ECF) is all body fluid outside of cells.
Fluids located outside a cell?
Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.
How does the hemoglobin-oxyhemoglobin buffer system help maintain the pH of body fluids?
Hemoglobin oxyhemoglobin is one of the main sources of extracellular fluids for the pH of body fluids. It helps with the protein of the body. It is needed for pH levels.
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
What is the most abundant anion in extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid refers to all body fluid outside of cells. The most abundant anion in the extracellular fluid is chloride (Cl-).
Which main nutrient is present in salt?
Salt = NaCl; therefore, if I understand the question correctly, we are really looking at what functions sodium and chloride serve in the body, after the salt is broken down. Na, Cl, and K are components of bodily fluids, and influence water balance in the body. Sodium: -Primary extracellular cation -Regulates size of extracellular fluid compartment as well as plasma volume Chloride: -Primary extracellular anion -Part of HCl in stomach NaCl helps support: -gonadal activity -adrenal function -adequate blood volume and pressure -(and others)
Where does extracellular fluid content come from?
Extracellular fluid is composed of the lquids in the body that are not inside the cells, that is called intracellular fluid. The fluids outside are either plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, lymphatic fluid, or interstitial fluid.
Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?
hormones
Does blood lymph and other bodily fluids consists of mostly water?
Blood, Lymph, and other bodily fluids do consist mostly of water. Around 60% to 65% of body water is contained within the cells of these fluids. The other 35% to 40% of body water is found in extracellular fluid.
