Quizplus · Accepted Answer

About 2/3 of the water found in the human body is inside the cells, which is known as the intracellular fluid compartment. The remaining 1/3 is found outside the cells, which is called the extracellular fluid compartment. This compartment includes the interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) and blood plasma. However, the majority of the extracellular fluid is interstitial fluid, and only a small portion is in the blood plasma. Therefore, while water is present in both blood and extracellular fluid compartment, the majority of it is in the intracellular fluid compartment.
