water, low body fat, low bone mass
total body water for males
60
males have more what and less what
more skeletal muscle and less fat
total body water for females
50
why is females body water lower
due to higher body fat and smaller skeletal muscles

what does other ECF include
lymph
CSF
eye humors
synovial fluid
serous fluid
GI secretions
what is compartmental exchange regulated by
osmotic and hydrostatic pressure
what is hydrostatic pressure
pressure any fluid in a confined space exerts, due to force of gravity
what is osmotic pressure
amount of force applied to solution that prevents solvent from moving across semipermeable membrane
