QuestionChoice
The intracellular compartment makes up two-thirds of the total body water. As fluids make up 60% of body mass we can approximate that the total fluids in a 70kg male is 42L. Two-thirds of this is 28L. The extracellular fluid is the remaining 14L and the plasma volume is 25% of that- which is 3.5L.
