Why extracellular fluid is known to be the internal environment of body?

Extracellular fluid refers to all the fluids outside of our cells in our bodies. The term for the fluid inside of our cells is intracellular and refers to the cytoplasm. The fluids outside of our cells is referred to as extracellular because they are outside the cells. There are two different categories of extracellular fluids. The first is interstitial fluid which is the fluid that is in between our cells and tissues, and the other is plasma, which is found in our blood. The reason why this is called the internal environment is because this is the environment that our cells in our bodies live in. So the internal environment in our body is really the "sea" of fluids outside our cells that keeps them alive, hence their environment. This is much like the things outside of our bodies that are our environment that keeps us alive.
