Intracellular fluid _____________
includes fluid outside the cells
includes fluid inside body cells

all the above
When a person becomes dehydrated, the amount of water in extracellular fluids such as blood decreases, causing the solute concentration of these fluids to increase. State whether osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells.
