Ear collapse is a condition which can be caused by the infection of a cartilage piercing. Although this condition is unusual, especially when a piercing is properly cared for, it is extremely serious, and it requires prompt medical attention.
The human body may be conceptually divided into two major fluid compartments: the intracellular compartment and the extracellular compartment. The intracellular compartment is the space within the organism's cells; it is separated from the extracellular compartment by cell membrane.he third extracellular compartment, the transcellular, consists of those spaces in the body where fluid does not normally collect in larger amounts, or where any significant fluid collection is physiologically nonfunctional.
Interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent containing sugars, salts, fatty acids, amino acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, as well as waste products from the cells. The composition of tissue fluid depends upon the exchanges between the cells in the biological tissue and the blood.This means that tissue fluid has a different composition in different tissues and in different areas of the body.he ionic composition of the interstitial fluid and blood plasma vary due to the GibbsâDonnan effect. This causes a slight difference in the concentration of cations and anions between the two fluid compartments.
