The document describes how the human body is composed of solids and fluids, with fluids accounting for more than two‑thirds of body mass. It details the division of extracellular fluid into interstitial fluid, plasma, and various transcellular fluids such as cerebrospinal and pleural fluid. Electrorolyte concentrations in intracellular and extracellular spaces are presented, highlighting their roles in acid‑base balance and cellular excitability. Methods for measuring total body water, extracellular fluid, and plasma volume using dilution markers are explained. Clinical implications for infants, who are prone to dehydration due to larger ECF volume and higher metabolic rate, are also discussed.
