Extracellular fluid contains large amounts of what?
Sodium chloride, bicarbonate ions, plus nutrients for the cells, such as oxygen, glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and also carbon dioxide
Intracellular fluid contains
Potassium, magnesium, and phosphate ions
Homeostasis can be defined as what
Maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment
Extra cellular fluid is transported through the body into stages
Stage one movement of blood through body in the blood vessels
Stage two movement of fluid between the blood capillaries and the intercellular spaces between the tissue cells
Blood passes through blood capillaries, continual exchange of extra cellular fluid, occurs between the plasma portion of the blood, and the interstitial fluid that fills the intercellular spaces 
Homogeneity of extra cellular fluid can be described as what
Extracellular fluid everywhere in the body, plasma and interstitial fluid is continually being mixed
 In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen in
Alveoli
