TRUE or FALSE: Without hydrogen bonds, water on Earth would have turned to steam at -91°C. If I told you that there were 42 L of water in the average human body and that 2/3 of it was intracellular water: a. Then 25% of total body water has to come from extracellular water. b. Then it is correct to say that an adult blood volume is ~28L of fluid. c. Then there is ~28L of intracellular water. d. This is the same as saying that there is 4.2 x 10^4 kL of water in the body.

What is the approximate volume of the average adult human body? 1 m3 0.5 m3 0.1 m3 0.01 m3
Body Fluid Compartments The following refers to Figure 5.1, page 131 in Silverthorn Physiology text. Body Fluid Compartments for a "Standard" 70 KG man: Intracellular Fluid (ICF) = 28 liters (L) = 2/3 of total body water Extracellular Fluid (ECF) = 14 L = 1/3 of total body water Plasma = 25% of ECF Interstitial Fluid = 75% of ECF Questions: 1. Using the ECF volume for the Standard 70 kg man in 5.1b, calculate the volumes of the a. Plasma = b. Interstitial Fluid = 2. What is the total body water volume of this person? 3. Calculate the percentage of total body water in the plasma and interstitial fluid. a. Plasma = b. Interstitial Fluid = 4. A woman weighs 121 pounds. Assuming her body water weight is 50% of her total body weight, calculate the ECF, ICF and Plasma volumes. Use the standard proportions for the fluid compartments. (2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram. 1 kg water = 1 L). Show your calculations in the space below. a. ICF = b. ECF = c. Plasma = 5. How does the ion composition of the plasma differ from that of the IF? 6. What ions are concentrated in the ECF? In the ICF? a. ECF: b. ICF:
