Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the different fluid compartments in the body: Intracellular fluid (ICF), Extracellular fluid (ECF), which includes Interstitial fluid and Plasma.
Recognize that Intracellular fluid (ICF) is the fluid contained within cells, making up about two-thirds of the body's total water content.
Identify that Extracellular fluid (ECF) is the fluid outside of cells, which includes Interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) and Plasma (fluid component of blood).
Compare the volumes: Intracellular fluid has the greatest volume compared to Interstitial fluid and Plasma, which are components of the Extracellular fluid.
Conclude that the greatest volume of water in the body is found in the Intracellular fluid compartment.
