a) In equilibrium with the intracellular fluid.

b) Isotonic in relation to the intracellular fluid

c) Hypotonic in relation to the intracellular fluid

d) Hypertonic in relation to the intracellular

Solutions

Expert Solution

When water consumes, it immediately added up to extra cellular fluid through gastro intestinal tract. So, extra cellular fluid volume increases and become hypotonic than intra cellular fluid.(normally, the tonicity of both ICF and ECF should be equal). Thus, fluid shifts to intra cellular fluid from extracellular fluid and tonicity of both fluids become lower.

So the answer is , following the consumption of pure water, the volume of extracellular fluid increases but become hypotonic in relation to intracellular fluid.
