Why erythrocyte, platelets and protein plasma found in blood cannot be found in the interstitial fluid and lymph?
A
The size are too big
B
It can change the shape
C
It is too small
D
Red in colour
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reason: The lymph contains lesser proteins because they have been filtered by the kidneys and removed from the plasma. The number of proteins that escaped from the capillaries to tissue is very less.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 10 percent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells. It helps in exchange of gasses, nutrients and removes the metabolic waste. It is devoid of RBC. It contains fewer proteins than plasma and lacks RBC.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tissue fluid is important for the exchange of substances between the blood and the cells Tissue fluid is formed from blood plasma leaking from the capillaries, but does not contain plasma proteins as these are too big to fit through the capillary wall.
