Vedclass · Answer

(B) The total body water in an average adult human is approximately $60-65\%$ of the total body weight.This total body water is divided into two main compartments:$1$. Intracellular Fluid $(ICF)$: This is the fluid present inside the cells,which accounts for approximately $40\%$ of the total body weight.$2$. Extracellular Fluid $(ECF)$: This is the fluid present outside the cells (including interstitial fluid,plasma,etc.),which accounts for approximately $20-24\%$ of the total body weight.Therefore,the correct ratio for intracellular and extracellular fluid is $40\%$ and $24\%$ of body weight,respectively.
