Detailed explanation-1: -(IN-ter-STIH-shul FLOO-id) Fluid found in the spaces around cells. It comes from substances that leak out of blood capillaries (the smallest type of blood vessel). It helps bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove waste products from them.
Detailed explanation-2: -"Inter” means between or among, so interstitial means between the parts of a tissue, but not within the blood vessel. Hence, interstitial fluid is a type of ECF that lies between cells of the tissue, but is not inside the blood vessels.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interstitial fluid is the body fluid between blood vessels and cells, containing nutrients from capillaries by diffusion and holding waste products discharged by cells due to metabolism.
