Fluids
Major Fluid Compartments of Body
65%
Intracellular fluid (ICF)
Osmolarity
ICF and ECF osmolarity is equal, since water moves easily thru membranes, any gradients become equal
imbalance is balanced in seconds by osmosis
most solute particles are
Electrolytes
in ECF:
Sodium Salts
in ICF:
Potassium Salts
