Answer: Less than that in interstitial fluid.
Explanation:
Body fluids can be divided into two compartments :
The Intercellular fluid and Extracellular fluid.
The Intercellular fluid is a compartment that includes all fluid enclosed in cells by their plasma membrane.
On the other hand; The Extracellular fluid surrounds all cells in the body and is further divided into two constituents. (i.e the Interstitial fluid and the Plasma). The Extracellular fluid account for 1/3rd of the body’s water content.
The composition of the body fluids varies from one to another. Although the composition of Interstitial fluids and Plasma are more similar to each other than either is to Intercellular fluid.
The Plasma has high concentrations of Sodium, Chloride, bicarbonate and protein.
The Interstitial Fluid contains high concentrations of Chloride, Potassium and Phosphate, but the Concentrations of Chloride in Plasma is slightly lesser than that in interstitial fluid.
