Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of water in the body is found within cells, making up about 60% of total body weight. Water in the interstitial spaces (between cells) makes up about 26%, while the remaining percentage is found in the blood plasma and various bodily fluids. The water in the digestive tract is not considered part of the body's internal water supply, and cerebrospinal fluid is a specific type of bodily fluid found within the central nervous system, not representative of the overall water distribution in the body.
