Body compartments capillary wall cell membrane plasma ECF interstitial fluid intracelluar fluid ICF ECF extracellular fluid compartment fluid outside cells ICF intracellular fluid compartment fluid inside the cells Interstitial fluid fluid that surrounds the cell Plasma liquid component of blood The line between plasma and interstitial fluid is dotted the cells that line the capillaries are slightly leaky which means that ions can move freely between plasma and the interstitial fluid This results in solute concentration being identical in plasma and interstitial fluid 1 Based on the diagram above and the caption what are the two major compartments in which body Fluids can be found 2 The plasma component of the blood is in which of these compartments 3 In the human body solute concentration in the extracellular fluid influences cell volume How would high salt concentration in this compartment affect cell volume
