Detailed explanation-2: -So, interstitial fluid is a type of ECF as it is found outside the interstitial cells. It is also known as intercellular or tissue fluid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fluid Pressure Regulation Lymphatic capillaries collect lymph fluid from the tissues, which allows them to regulate the pressure of interstitial fluid. This fluid is essentially plasma that leaks out of cardiovascular capillaries into the tissues due to the forces of hydrostatic or oncotic pressure.
