If you sweat, are you losing extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid? What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Actually, you are losing both! Because sweat is fluid released by cells into a gland, you are
directly losing extracellular fluid. But because the two fluid ‘compartments' are linked, you
are losing some intracellular fluid to replace the extracellular fluid.
