What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
Is lymph more similar to blood plasma or to interstitial fluid?
Interstitial fluid comes from blood plasma which leaks out of the pores of capillaries. It differs in that the larger molecules mostly proteins and blood cells are too large to fit through the pores, and so the interstitial fluid lacks these. The interstitial fluid does contain the salts and the smaller molecules such as amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, which are present in blood plasma.
Interstitial fluid plus blood cells and large proteins?
plasma
When nutients are supplied to a cell the last fluid through which they must pass before encountering the plasma membrane is the?
1. plasma 2. interstitial fluid 3. blood 4. intracellular fluid 5. cerebrospinal fluid Answer= 2. interstitial fluid
List the fluid compartments that could be defined as extracellular?
Interstitial fluid, plasma, and transcellular fluid.
What fluid forms lymph?
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
What is the Capillary fluid shift mechanism?
exchange of fluid that occurs across the capillary membrane between the blood and the interstitial fluid. This fluid movement is controlled by the capillary blood pressure, the interstitial fluid pressure and the colloid osmotic pressure of the plasma. Low blood pressure results in fluid moving from the interstitial space into the circulation helping to restore blood volume and blood pressure.
The liquid that is derived from the human blood plasma and is in direct contact with the cells of the body is known as?
tissue fluid or interstitial fluid
Plasma is closest in composition to?
interstitial fluid.
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
What are the types of fluids?
Plasma, Lymph, interstitial Fluid and cerebrospinal fluid.
Fluid located in the spaces between the cells?
The fluid located in the space between the cells is known as extracellular fluid.
