  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 25, Problem 19P

Explanation of Solution

The fluids in the body are intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid, plasma and some other fluids. These together account for all the bodily fluid that there is in the body. Due to the percentage of the body water that they contain in them, the three more important among them are intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid and plasma. The percentage that they contain are 64%, 25%, and 8% respectively.

Conclusion

The three main bodily fluids along with the percentage of body water that they contain are:

  1. Intracellular fluid (64%)
  2. Interstitial fluid (25%)
  3. Plasma(8%)
