A) iron B) chloride C) potassium D) magnesium Answer: C Page Ref: 997; Fig. 26.2 13. 13) Which of the following describes the distribution of sodium and potassium between cells and body fluids?
The major division is between the intracellular and extracellular portions: Hence, if the sodium concentration goes up in your extracellular fluid, water will tend to leave your cells and move to make up the difference there.odium and Water (1) - Body compartments. The human body is approximately 50-60% water (on the higher end for men, on the lower end for women). This water is distributed in two major compartments-the intracellular fluid compartment and the extracellular fluid compartment, in a ratio of roughly 2:1.
