Smooth Transitions between Compartments The force that a fluid applies against a wall—hydrostatic pressure—is what moves fluid between compartments.

<h3>Where is fluid compartment?</h3>

Water makes roughly 60% of the adult human body, which is composed of intra- and extracellular fluid compartments. Extracellular fluid, which makes up 13 of the body's water, is found outside of cells. Two-thirds of the water in the body is found inside the mitochondria and is known as intracellular fluid.

<h3>Which body fluid compartment has the least fluid?</h3>

The fraction of fluid volume that is present in the gaps bordered with epithelial cells is known as transcellular fluid. It is the tiniest part of extravascular space, which also consists of plasma and interstitial fluid. Although it is often not expressed as a percentage of extracellular fluid, the body water content is around 2.5%.

"The movement of water between body fluid compartments is called osmosis.

<h3>What is osmosis?</h3>

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration.

The selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through, but not solutes, such as ions, glucose, and proteins. The water concentration of a solution is determined by the amount and type of solutes dissolved in it. The more solutes a solution has, the lower its water concentration, and vice versa.

Therefore, Osmosis occurs because water molecules are attracted to solutes by hydrogen bonds. Water molecules tend to move toward regions where there are more solutes, in order to balance the concentration gradient.

Bumek [7]

That which is NOT part of the respiratory membrane of the lungs is:

  • A thin layer of ciliated epithelial cells

<h3>What is the respiratory membrane?</h3>

The respiratory membrane is the surface of the lungs where there is an exchange of gases. There are many parts that make up the respiratory membrane of the lungs.

Some of these are; the respiratory mucosa, the adventitia, and the submucosa. The thin layer of ciliated epithelial cells is not a part of the respiratory membrane but is a hair-like structure that helps to remove unwanted substances from the body.

So the correct answer is: a thin layer of ciliated epithelial cells.
