Detailed explanation-2: -Regulation of Arterial Pressure The ECF volume is the sum of the plasma volume and interstitial fluid volume. Plasma makes up about 58% of the blood volume. Blood volume is typically about 5 L, whereas ECF volume is about 14 L. Thus blood comprises about 36% of the ECF volume.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood Plasma It makes up about 55% of total blood volume. It is the intravascular fluid part of the extracellular fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -About 60% of our body weight is water, 40% of it is intracellular, and 20% is extracellular. This is known as the 60-40-20 rule .
