What do extracellular and intracellular fluid have to do with homeostasis?

Extracellular and intracellular fluids play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating the balance of water, electrolytes, and other substances within the body. These fluid compartments help maintain cell structure and function, as well as ensure proper communication and signaling between cells. Imbalances in these fluid compartments can disrupt homeostasis and lead to health issues.
