Describe the "third spaces".
What will be an ideal response?
Fluids can accumulate within body cavities in spaces between organs. These are often called the "third spaces" and include peritoneal, pericardial, and thoracic cavities as well as the joints and bursae. For the normal healthy individual, these spaces hold insignificant amounts of fluid. However, in illness or injury, fluid accumulation in these spaces may become significant. For example, fluid may accumulate in the peritoneal cavity with liver disease, causing the condition known as ascites.
