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
-
Extracellular fluids includes interstitial fluid (present between tissue), blood plasma, lymph plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, etc. Hence the correct answer is option d.
