List the fluid compartments that could be defined as extracellular?
Interstitial fluid, plasma, and transcellular fluid.
What is exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid compartments that takes place across the capillary membrane?
gas exchange
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
Cell membranes separate the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. The intracellular fluid is contained within the cells, while the extracellular fluid surrounds the cells. Transport proteins in the cell membrane regulate the movement of substances between these compartments.
What walls separate the two extracellular fluid compartments?
The plasma membrane of cells separates the interstitial fluid (between cells) from the blood plasma. In addition, the blood vessels' walls, composed of endothelial cells, create a physical barrier between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluid.
