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

Which cellular compartment contains the greatest amount of body fluid?

The intracellular compartment, which includes the cytoplasm and organelles within cells, contains the greatest amount of body fluid. This fluid is known as intracellular fluid or cytosol, and makes up about two-thirds of the total body water.


Water within cells is called?

There's no name for such a fluid, because the body can't 'produce' water. No water that didn't go into the body earlier can come out of it.


About two-thirds of the body's fluid is within cells and is termed fluid?

Intercellular.


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.


A compartment within the body?

An organ, such as the stomach or lungs, can be considered a compartment within the body. These compartments are essential for specific functions and are separated by membranes to maintain their unique environments. They work together to help the body function properly.

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.

What is The concetration of glucose in intracellular fluid?

The concentration of glucose in intracellular fluid is typically around 1-10 mM (millimolar). This concentration can vary based on factors such as cellular metabolism, nutrient availability, and hormonal regulation.


Where are Most of the body's fluid is found?

Most of the body's fluid is found inside cells (intracellular fluid) and in the space surrounding cells (extracellular fluid). The extracellular fluid includes the fluid within blood vessels (intravascular) and the fluid in between cells (interstitial fluid).
