Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tissue fluid has the same composition as blood, except it has no erythrocytes or large proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
