Understanding Total Body Water Distribution

Total body water distribution involves three major compartments: intracellular, interstitial, and vascular spaces. The book discusses the distribution percentages for each space, where two-thirds is for intracellular, one-third for extracellular, and further division among interstitium and plasma.
