Total body water gets distributed inside as well as outside of the cells into two body fluid compartments. The water content present on the inside of the cells is called the intracellular fluid (or ICF), and the water content present on the outside of the cells forms the extracellular fluid...
Body Fluid Compartments By Location Types of body fluids can be categorized based on the location: Intracellular Body Fluid The fluid that is present inside the cell i.e., in the cytoplasm of the cell. The intracellular fluid largely remains unchanged and does not undergo rapid changes or fluct...
The body fluids of the human body are of two major types: intracellular fluid (fluid inside the cell) and extracellular fluid (fluid outside the cell). Both of these types are made up chiefly of water. The amount of water molecules between these two fluids needs to be regulated and stabil...
COMPOSITION OF BODY FLUIDSWater is the most abundant constituent in the body, comprising approximately 50% of body weight in women and 60% in men. Total-body water is distributed in two major compartments: 55–75% is intracellular (intracellular fluid [ICF]), and 25–45% is extracellular (...

One of the adaptations that contribute to maintaining the intracellular pH of acidophiles is the impermeability of the cell membrane, which restricts the influx of protons into the cytoplasm. In acidophilic archaea, there is a strong association between the presence of tetraether lipids in the cell...
Inbiology, a concentration gradient results from the unequal distribution of particles, e.g.ions, between two solutions, i.e. the intracellular fluid (the solution inside the cell) and the extracellular fluid (the solution outside the cell). This imbalance of solutes between the two solutions ...
It differs from intracellular fluid (fluid within the cells) in that it generally has a high concentration of sodium and low concentration of potassium, while intracellular fluid is high in potassium and low in sodium. The fluid is often secreted by cells to provide a constant environment for ...
