The huge amount of fluid in our cells is categorized into two main types, each with different purposes: the intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid usually denotes all body fluid outside of the cells. The remainder is called intracellular fluid. In some animals, including mammals, the extracellular fluid can be divided into two major subcompartments, interstitial fluid, and blood plasma. Transcellular fluid is present between spaces lined by epithelium, for example, pericardial fluid.
