MICROANATOMY

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The interstitial compartment (also called “tissue space") surrounds tissue cells. It is filled with interstitial fluid, including lymph. Interstitial fluid provides the immediate microenvironment that allows for movement of ions, proteins and nutrients across the cell barrier.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fluid in the spaces between tissues is called interstitial fluid, or ‘tissue fluid’. This provides the cells of the body with nutrients (via the blood supply) and a means of waste removal.
