Question

1- In a persom with total body water of 42L, what is the amount of fluid in intracellular fluid?

2- In a persom with total body water of 42L, what is the amount of fluid in intravascular fluid?

Answer 1

1. In a person with total body water of 42L, the amount of intracellular fluid is 28L.

In an adult with 42 L of body water, which is equivalent to 60% of his body weight. Of this 60%, intracellular fluid is equivalent to 40% or 28L.

2. In a person with total body water of 42L, the amount of intravascular fluid is 3.5L.

The extracellular fluid is divided into intravascular fluid and interstitial fluid. Intravascular fluid is 5% or 3.5 L of extracellular fluid.
