Chapter 29, Problem 29.6UKC

Body fluids occupy two different compartments, either inside the cells or outside the cells.

(a)    What are body fluids found inside the cell called?

(b)    What are body fluids found outside the cell called?

(c)    What are the two major subclasses of fluids found outside the cells?

(d)    What major electrolytes are found inside the cells?

(e)    What major electrolytes are found outside the cells?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Body fluids occupy two different compartments, either inside the cells or outside the cells.

It should be determined that what are the body fluids found inside the cells called.

Concept Introduction:

Body fluids are the fluids present in body which differ in composition to meet their functions. Blood, urine, milk, semen, cerebrospinal fluids, sweat, tear, lymph etc. are body fluids.

Body fluids are divided into two components:

1. (1) Extracellular fluid (ESF)

   These types of fluids are present outside of the cells.  Approximately $\frac{1}{3}$ volumes of fluids in body are possessed by extracellular fluids. It contains ions and nutrients needed for cellular life.

2. (2) Intracellular fluid (ICF)

   These types of fluids are present inside the cells. Approximately $\frac{2}{3}$ volumes of fluids in body are possessed by intracellular fluids.

Explanation of Solution

Body fluids occupy two different compartments, either inside the cells or outside the cells.

Body fluids found inside the cells are called Intracellular fluid (ICF).

   These types of fluids are present outside of the cells.  Approximately $\frac{1}{3}$ volumes of fluid in body are possessed by extracellular fluids. It contains ions and nutrients needed for cellular life.

   Extracellular fluid further divided into two;

Interstitial fluid and blood plasma

Interstitial fluid: It is the fluid found in the intercellular spaces composed of water, amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, hormones, coenzymes, salt and cellular products.

Blood plasma: (55%) extracellular matrix that containing dissolved substances.

• Straw – colored liquid, mostly water and some proteins (Anti bodies)

1. (2) Intracellular fluid (ICF)

These types of fluids are present inside the cells. Approximately $\frac{2}{3}$ volumes of fluids in body are possessed by intracellular fluids.

Explanation of Solution

Body fluids occupy two different compartments, either inside the cells or outside the cells.

The two major subclasses of fluids found outside the cells are,

1. (1) Interstitial fluid: It is the fluid found in the intercellular spaces composed of water, amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, hormones, coenzymes, salt and cellular products.
2. (2) Blood plasma: (55%) extracellular matrix that containing dissolved substances.
