|
ICF where? and function?
|
Within the cells and its essential for cell fuction and metabolism=cellular medium

|
ECF where? and function?
|
Outside cell its the transportation system bringing h20 nutrients and electrolytes in cell and taking waste out
|
|
ECF has 3 compartments what are they? and their function?
|
Interstitial fluid lies bw cells, necessary for cellular metabolism
plasma (intravascular) maintains vascular volume
transcellular specialized fluid
