Severe vomiting and diarrhea cause a loss of water and solutes from extracellular fluids. If the person was given only water, what effect would this have on the solute concentration of the extracellular fluids? Would osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells?

What fraction of total-body water is extracellular? Assume that water constitutes 60% of a person’s body weight. What fraction of a person’s body weight is due to extracellular body water?
