Expert Solution
Step 1

The body fluids are referred to as fluid present in various tissues of the human body. These fluids, depending on their location, are divided into two major compartments: intracellular and extracellular fluid. The specific composition of fluid varies in different compartments. Although the specific composition of fluid varies in different compartments, it mainly consists of electrolytes, water, and water soluble molecules. It is very essential to maintain fluid balance so that a stable equilibrium in the cellular environment could be formed for optimal activity. The optimal ranges of various components within the fluid are very narrow, thus the composition of the body fluids are continuously monitored by various receptors present in the body.
