GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -The interstitial space that lies between blood vessels and cells provides the fluid and structural environment surrounding those cells. Under most conditions in most tissues, fluid from the vascular space continually filters from the microvessels into the interstitial space and is not reabsorbed (1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent containing sugars, salts, fatty acids, amino acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, white blood cells and cell waste-products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transcellular fluid is the portion of total body water contained within the epithelial-lined spaces. It is the smallest component of extracellular fluid, which also includes interstitial fluid and plasma.
