Summary Introduction
To review:
The basic differences between the extracellular and intracellular compartments along with their significance.
Introduction:
In a human body, the total fluid present can be divided into three compartments: extracellular, intracellular,and interstitial fluids. To accommodate these fluids, there are two respective compartments: extracellular and intracellular compartments. Extracellular fluid and interstitial fluid are both enclosed inside the extracellular compartment but the fluid which is present inside the cell is enclosed inside the intracellular compartment.
