Explanation / Answer

Fluid compartments ; they are two types of compartments in the body ,they are intracellular and extracellular compartments .intracellular compartments are the space seperated from the surrounding cell through cell memberane around 2/3 percent of water is present in these cells ,they hold water , remaining water is present in theextracelluar compartment . they are three types of cells present ,interstial fluid, blood plasma {intravascular]. transcellular fluid .the adult female contains approximatly 55 percent of the water .total body weight decreases with the increase in the weight .most of the tissues contain 70-80 percent of water ,plasma 93 percent water ,fat 10-15 percent ,bones 20 percent .

the intracellular fluids are present approximatly 1014 separte cellular packages .ICf is a virtual compartment .transcellular fluid is a small compartment that represent all those body fluidswhioch are formed from the activities of the cells .it contain epithelial cell lining ,it include CSF,urine bladder,aqueous humour , joint fluid.

distribution of major ions;

these are the types of ions which are distributed in different fluids
