Body fluids 

  • Body fluids in the body are the media through which the process of transport takes place
  • The body fluids of the human body can be of two types i.e. intracellular fluids or extracellular fluids
  • Intracellular fluids are present inside the cells while extracellular fluids are present outside the cells.
  • The composition of intracellular fluids is similar in different cells and even different organisms.
  • Intracellular fluids contain large amounts of potassium, phosphate ions and proteins. 
  • Sodium and chloride ions are present in small quantities in intracellular fluids
  • Extracellular fluids includes interstitial fluid ( present between tissue), blood plasma, lymph plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, etc. 
  • The extracellular fluid contains large amounts of sodium and chloride ions
