CELLULAR FLUID
From NeuroRehab.wiki
SUMMARY
1. Cells exist within an internal sea of ECF.
2. ECF is more dilute than present-day sea-water but its composition resembles that of the primordial oceans.
3. ECF = interstitial fluid + plasma + lymph.
4. Total blood volume = cells + plasma.
5. Edema is build-up of body-fluid within tissues. The best treatment for this is reversing the underlying disorder.
