2) intercellular/interstitial fluid - 11 litres - 80%

-water’s properties result from its structure and molecular interactions

-polar covalent bonds and asymmetrical shape give it opposite charges on

-electrons spend more time around O giving H a slight positive charge

-hydrogen bonds form between the oxygen of one molecule and the

-cohesion: substance being held together by hydrogen bonds

-hydrogen bonds are transient yet enough is always held together to give

water more structure than almost any other liquid

-beads and meniscus formed by cohesion (also helps upward transport of

-adhesion counteracts downward pull of gravity

-water has greater surface tension than most liquids

-surface molecules are hydrogen bonded to molecules below and around

-surface tension can hinder life (i.e. beading in the alveoli of lungs)
