Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intracellular fluid is the fluid that is present inside the cells and accounts for about two-thirds of the body's total water volume. The other one-third is distributed in the extracellular fluid, which is further divided into interstitial fluid (fluid between the tissue cells) and intravascular fluid (blood plasma within the blood vessels). Therefore, options A, C, and D are not correct as they refer to only one-third of the total body water volume. Option E is not a correct option as transvascular fluid is not a recognized term in biology or medicine.
