Interpretation:
The three main bodily fluids that are in the body needs to be stated and the percentage of body water that they hold needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Most of the human body (about 70%) is made up of fluids and these fluids are of more than one type. These mostly hold water and they combined makeup for the water content of the body.

Answer to Problem 25.21P
The three main bodily fluids are:
- Intracellular fluid
- Interstitial fluid
- Plasma
The percentage of the body water that each of these fluid holds is given in the pie chart.
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.
The three main bodily fluids along with the percentage of body water that they contain are:
- Intracellular fluid (64%)
- Interstitial fluid (25%)
- Plasma(8%)
