Fluid compartments in the mammalian body broadly comprise two compartments, each with several subdivisions: intracellular fluid (ICF), which makes up approximately 60-65% of body water, and extracellular fluid (ECF), which makes up the other 35-40% of body water (for all practical purposes, the only solvent in the body is water).

Famous quotes containing the word fluid:
“Eye, gazelle, delicate wanderer,
Drinker of horizon’s fluid line;
Ear that suspends on a chord
The spirit drinking timelessness;
Touch, love, all senses;”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
