Answer:
Body water is the water in an animal's body that is contained in tissues, blood, bones, etc. Summing the percentages of body water contained in the various fluid compartments gives a total body water content
Explanation:
- Body fluids in most animals are contained in a variety of body fluids.
- These include intracellular fluid. extracellular fluid; plasma; interstitial fluid; and transcellular fluid.
- Water is also found in organs, gastrointestinal fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, and ocular fluid.
- Adipose tissue contains about 10% water, while muscle tissue contains about 75% water.
Water in the body is broken down into the following compartments:
- Intracellular fluid (2/3 of the body's water) is the fluid contained within the cells. In a 72 kg body containing 40 liters of fluid, about 25 liters are intracellular, which is 62.5%.
- Extracellular fluid (1/3 of body water) is the fluid outside the cells. About 15 liters of the 40-liter body is extracellular, 37.5%
