Question
4- About the fluid compartments A. Insensible losses consist of urine and feces B. The intracellular compartment represents more than half of the total water in the body C. In the case of a third, it is the extracellular compartment that increases in volume D. Water at 1°C has a higher density than water at 4°C; E. All answers A, B, C and D are wrong
Solution
A. False. Insensible losses refer to the loss of body fluids that is not noticeable, such as through evaporation from the skin and lungs. It does not include urine and feces.
B. True. The intracellular compartment, which is the space within our cells, does indeed represent more than half of the total water in the body.
C. True. The third space refers to the interstitial space or compartments in the body where fluid does not normally collect in large amounts. In the case of third spacing, fluid shifts out of the blood into these areas, causing an increase in the extracellular compartment volume.
D. False. Water has its highest density at 4°C. As the temperature decreases or increases from 4°C, the density of water decreases.
E. False. Not all answers A, B, C, and D are wrong. Only A and D are incorrect.
