General Medicine
PPTX21 pages418 KB
The human body is composed of approximately 60% water, which is divided into intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). ICF accounts for about two-thirds of total body water, while ECF makes up the remaining third. The document elaborates on the functions of these compartments, the movement of water between them, and the principles of osmolarity and tonicity that govern these processes. Additionally, it covers various transport mechanisms including passive and active transport, as well as vesicular transport.
