♦What are the three principal fluids in our body? Explain in brief.
Answers
Answer:
Intravascular fluid,interstitial fluid,lymphatic fluid
Explanation:
Intravascular fluid:
The main intravascular fluid is blood . It is mixture of suspension,colloid& solute.The blood represents both intracellular compartment and extracellular compartment.
Interstitial fluid:
Interstitial or extracellular fluid denotes all body fluids outside the cell of many multicellular organism.Total body water is 60% of total body weight in a healthy man.
Lymphatic fluid:
The lymphatic system is an organ system in vertibrate and part of circulatory system and the immune system.It is made up of large net work of lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organ.The vessel carry a clear fluid lymph towards heart.

The major body-fluid compartments includ: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid (plasma, interstitial fluid, and transcellular fluid).
Key Points
The intracellular fluid of the cytosol or intracellular fluid (or cytoplasmic matrix) is the liquid found inside cells.
The cytosol is a complex mixture of substances that include proteins, ions, and organelles dissolved in water.
Extracellular fluid (ECF) or extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) usually denotes all body fluid outside of cells, and consists of plasma, interstitial, and transcellular fluid.
An extracellular matrix is an extracellular fluid space containing cell-excreted molecules, and they vary in their type and function.
Plasma also serves as an extracellular matrices (ECM) for the cells and molecules of the blood.
Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid) is a solution that bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals.
Transcellular fluid is the portion of total body water contained within epithelial -lined spaces.
Key Terms
intracellular fluid: The liquid found inside cells, between the endomembrane and the membrane-bound organelles.
interstitial fluid: A solution that bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals; also called tissue fluid.
plasma: The straw-colored/pale-yellow, liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells of whole blood in suspension.
