Almost all of a mammal's water is contained in its blood or other cells. The only water that isn't intracellular is contained within saliva, for instance.
Water (H2O) Salt (NaOH & KOH). Note, in mammalian cells, the intracellular and extracellular potassium and sodium levels are different. Potassium - Intracellular 139 millimolar, extracellular 4 millimolar Sodium - Intracellular 12 millimolar, extracellular 145 millimolar

You have 60 % water in your body. You have 20 % water in extracellular compartment. You have 40 % water in intracellular compartment.
Chloride is an Anion in Extracellular Fluid
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
Intracellular compartment stores most of water. It is 40 % of body weight. As against extracellular compartment. where is is 20 %.
Almost 60 % of body weight is composed of water. 40 % of the body water is in the intracellular compartment and 20 % of the body water is there in extracellular compartment.
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.
in cells (intracellular fluid) or in the spaces between cells (extracellular fluid). Approximately 2/3 of the body's water is found inside cells, while the remaining 1/3 is located in the extracellular fluid compartment.
the plant vacuole.
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.
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
