TBW is distributed among what 3 major compartments
1 Blood Plasma
2 Interstitial Fluid
3 Intracellular Fluid
Intracellular fluid is % of body weight and — of TBW
40% body weight
2/3 TBW
Plasma and ISF separated by
capillaries
Plasma and ISF make up
ECF
ECF is % of body weight and — of TBW
20% body weight
1/2 TBW
ECF and ICF are separated by
cellular membranes
the fourth small compartment
