What is fluid distribution?

The distribution of fluid throughout the body can be broken down into two general categories: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Intracellular fluid is approximately 40% of the total body weight. It is the total space within cells primarily defined as the cytoplasm of cells.

What is the process of fluid distribution throughout the body?

Water passes from the intestinal lumen into plasma mainly by passive transport, regulated by osmotic gradients. Water molecules are then transported via blood circulation to be distributed all over the body, to the interstitial fluids and to cells.

What are the three types of extracellular fluid?

The extracellular fluids may be divided into three types: interstitial fluid in the "interstitial compartment" (surrounding tissue cells and bathing them in a solution of nutrients and other chemicals), blood plasma and lymph in the "intravascular compartment" (inside the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels), and small ...

Which intake account for most of our daily fluid intake?

Which type of intake accounts for most of our daily fluid intake? Aerobic cellular respiration and dehydration synthesis reactions result in: metabolic water intake.

What are the 3 fluid compartments of the body?

There are three major fluid compartments; intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular. Fluid movement from the intravascular to interstitial and intracellular compartments occurs in the capillaries.

What are the 4 bodily fluids?

Chymous is composed of the four humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. These four humors then circulate in the vessels.

What diseases are carried in body fluids?

What are the two most important fluids on Earth?

Other than air itself, water is the most important life-giving substance on the planet. It's needed for nearly every metabolic function in the body; our brains are mainly water and fat; water carries oxygen throughout our body; it helps with proper detoxification, elimination and beautiful skin.
