Modern medical, public health, and personal hygiene practices treat body fluids as potentially unclean.
Lymphatic fluid (sometimes included in interstitial fluid)īody fluid is the term most often used in medical and health contexts. intracellular fluid (ICF), which consist of cytosol and fluids in the cell nucleus. The vascular volume is divided into the venous volume and the arterial volume and the arterial volume has a conceptually useful but unmeasurable subcompartment called the effective arterial blood volume. The interstitial fluid compartment is divided into the lymphatic fluid compartment – about 2/3, or 8 (6–10) liters, and the transcellular fluid compartment (the remaining 1/3, or about 4 liters). The ECF compartment is divided into the interstitial fluid volume – the fluid outside both the cells and the blood vessels – and the intravascular volume (also called the vascular volume and blood plasma volume) – the fluid inside the blood vessels – in a three-to-one ratio: the interstitial fluid volume is about 12 liters the vascular volume is about 4 liters. The total body of water is divided into fluid compartments, between the intracellular fluid compartment (also called space, or volume) and the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment (space, volume) in a two-to-one ratio: 28 (28–32) liters are inside cells and 14 (14–15) liters are outside cells. A lean 70 kg (150 lb) man, for example, has about 42 (42–47) liters of water in his body. 
The exact percentage of fluid relative to body weight is inversely proportional to the percentage of body fat. In lean healthy adult men, the total body water is about 60% (60–67%) of the total body weight it is usually slightly lower in women (52-55%). The extracellular fluid compartment is further subdivided into the interstitial fluid and the intravascular fluid compartments.īody fluids, bodily fluids, or biofluids, sometimes body liquids, are liquids within the human body.
Intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments.
