Ear collapse is a condition which can be caused by the infection of a cartilage piercing. Although this condition is unusual, especially when a piercing is properly cared for, it is extremely serious, and it requires prompt medical attention.
The human body may be conceptually divided into two major fluid compartments: the intracellular compartment and the extracellular compartment. The intracellular compartment is the space within the organism's cells; it is separated from the extracellular compartment by cell membrane.he third extracellular compartment, the transcellular, consists of those spaces in the body where fluid does not normally collect in larger amounts, or where any significant fluid collection is physiologically nonfunctional.
Water in the body occupies two main fluid compartments. Most fluid is in the intracellular fluid (ICF) compartment. ICF is fluid found inside of cells. The rest of our body water is in the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment. The ECF consists of plasma and interstitial fluid (IF), the fluid in the spaces between tissue cells.
