Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

What types of proteins in the cell membrane were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells? ATP affects the pumping into the membrane by opening ion channels‚ ATPases would affect it in the opposite way because of the lack of ATPases the ATP wouldn’t be taken away. F.
