Q
body fluid distribution
A
total body water: 60% of body weight
- intracellular water (ICF): 40% of total body water
- extracellular water (ECF): 20% of total body water
- interstitial fluid: 15% of total body water
- plasma water: 5% of total body water
- blood volume: plasma + red blood cell volume
- 8-9% of body weight
