Question:

Water accounts for roughly 60% of total body weight. Assuming it can be categorized into six regions, the percentages go as follows. Plasma claims 4.5% of the body weight and is 7.5% of the total body water. Dense connective tissue and cartilage occupies 4.5% of the total body weight and 7.5% of the total body water. Interstitial lymph is 12% of the body weight, which is 20% of the total body water. Inaccessible bone water is roughly 7.5% of the total body water and 4.5% total body weight. If intracellular water is 33% of the total body weight and transcellular water is 2.5% of the total body water. What percent of total body weight must the transcellular water be and what percent of total body water must the intracellular water be?
