Which of the following is NOT true about body fluids:
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
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.
