Identify the two main water (fluid) compartments in the body and describe
the composition of each.
Your Answer:
This water is divided into main compartments (spaces)--the fluid outside
of the cells (extracellular fluid [ECF]) and the fluid inside the cells
(intracellular fluid [ICF]).
Extracellular fluid (ECF)—the fluid outside the cells; includes
interstitial fluid (fluid between cells), blood, lymph, bone, and
connective tissue water; also includes transcellular fluids (fluids
in special body spaces), cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid,
peritoneal fluid, and pleural fluid; accounts for about 1/3 (about
15 L) of total body water
Intracellular fluid (ICF)—the fluid inside of cells; accounts for
the remaining 2/3 (about 25 L) of total body water
