Which of the following is NOT true about body fluids:
Total Body Fluid Depends on age, gender and % of body fat 60% of the body weight in man 50% of the body weight in woman 70-75% of the body weight in infants Due to relatively greater amount of adipose tissue in the females, the total body water is ~10% less in a normal young adult female than that in an average adult male. In both sexes the value decreases with age due to increasing % of body fat. Brain (contains 74% - 80% of water) forms a large fraction and bones (contains 20% water) form a small fraction of body weight in infant as compared to adult. Because of this infant contains propoionately more body fluid than adult.
The total body fluid per unit body weight is more in infants as compared to adults
ECF volume of 70 kg adult man would be approximately 14 L
Intracellular fluid is 66% of total body weight
Synol fluid is transcellular fluid
