Abstract
The human body is divided into two main compartments: intracellular space (ICS) and extracellular space (ECS). The ECS is divided into three additional compartments: intravascular space (IVS, plasma), interstitial space (ISS), and transcellular space (TCS) (Fig. 1.1). These compartments contain the body water and are surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane through which fluids pass from one space to another and which separates them.
