Extracellular fluid is the fluid found outside of cells in the body, which includes interstitial fluid (found in between cells) and plasma (found in the blood). It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of electrolytes and nutrients, as well as facilitating the exchange of substances between cells and their environment.
The extracellular fluid compartments include the interstitial fluid (found between cells) and the intravascular fluid (found within blood vessels).
