| Intracellular fluid (ICF) | Fluid inside body cells |
| Extracellular fluid (ECF) | Fluid outside body cells |
| Symptoms | Subjective changes in body functions that are not apparent to an observer, e.g., headache or nausea |
| Signs | Objective changes that a clinician can observe or measure, e.g., fever or rash |
| Anatomical position | A stanadrdized method of observing or imaging the body that allows precise and consistent anatomical reference |
| Describe the Anatomical Position | The person stands erect, facing the observer, the upper extremities are placed at the sides, the palms of the hands are turned forward, and the feet are flat on the floor |
