Blood = Plasma + red blood cells + white blood cells + platelets [Blood is the fluid found inside the blood vessels]
Plasma = Water + hormones + nutrients (lipids + vitamins + sugars + amino acids + mineral salts) + plasma proteins (fibrinogen + prothrombin + globulin + albumin)
Serum = Plasma - clotting components (fibrinogen + prothrombin)
Tissue fluid = Plasma - plasma proteins [Tissue fluid is the fluid that surrounds the cells of the body, and is formed from plasma.]
Lymph = Tissue fluid + lymphocytes [Lymph is the fluid that is found inside the lymphatic capillaries/lacteals.]
Chyle = Lymph + fat globules [Formed when fat globules enter into the lacteals inside the villi of the small intestine.]
Saliva = Water + mucin + salivary amylase
Gastric juice (acidic) = Water + HCl + pepsinogen + prorennin + mucin
Chyme = Semi-liquid food (partially digested) from stomach
Bile (alkaline) = Water + bile pigments + bile salts
Pancreatic juice (alkaline) = Water + pancreatic enzymes TAL; (trypsin (inactive form: trypsinogen) + amylase + lipase)
Intestinal juice (alkaline) : Water plus maltase, lactase, sucrase, lipase, erepsin, enterokinase
Urine = Water + excess mineral salts + urea + creatinine + uric acid [Glucose is present ONLY if person has diabetes, proteins are present ONLY if person has kidney failure]
Sweat = Water + sodium chloride + small amounts of urea
