Solution
ECF:
ECF is expanded as Extra Cellular Fluid, a type of fluid that exists outside of the cells.
It is composed of ions and water and is continuous with the interstitial fluid.
This fluid accounts for approximately 86% of the total body weight.
Lymph is extracellular fluid as it does not travel inside the cells, but instead travels free of the cells.
