Question

The total fluid or water content of the human body ranges from _____ of its total weight.

Answer 1

The total fluid or water content of the human body ranges from  30% and 40%  of its total weight.

In an adult male, approximately 60% of the body is made up of water. However, adipose tissue does not contain as much water as lean tissue. Adult females have a higher percentage of their bodies made up of fat than males, accounting for about 55% of their body water.

Total body water weight (TBW) accounts for approximately 60% of total body weight. Whole body water is divided into an intracellular fluid compartment (about 66%) and an extracellular fluid compartment (about 33%). These two spaces are separated by the cell membrane.

The extracellular fluid comprises approximately 20% of total body weight and is further subcategorized as plasma at approximately 5% of body weight and interstitial space which is approximately 12% of body weight.
