The intracellular fluid compartment includes the fluids and electrolytes cell membranes enclose.b. The extracellular fluid compartment includes all the fluids and electrolytes outside cell membranes.2. Body fluid compositiona. Extracellular fluids have high concentrations of sodium, chloride, calcium, and bicarbonate ions, with less potassium, magnesium, phosphate, andsulfate ions. Plasma contains more protein than does either interstitial fluid or lymph.b. Intracellular fluid contains high concentrations of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate ions. It also has a greater concentration of sulfate ions and lesser concentrations of sodium, chloride, calcium, and bicarbonate ions than does extracellular fluid.3.
