An appropriate balance of solutes inside and outside of cells must be maintained to ensure normal function. Body Water Content. Human beings are mostly water, ranging from about 75 percent of body mass in infants to about 50–60 percent in adult men and women, to as low as 45 percent in old age.
Key Points. The majority of fluid output occurs from urination. Some fluid is lost through perspiration (part of the body’s temperature control mechanism) and as water vapor in expired air. The body’s homeostatic control mechanisms ensure that a balance between fluid gain and fluid loss is maintained.
Compare and contrast total body water (TBW) volumes in normal adult males and females. Compare and contrast relative volumes and osmolarities of intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). Explain the subdivision of the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment into plasma and interstitial fluid (IF), and compare volumes and ...
