Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The three major subdivisions of extracellular fluid in the body are interstitial fluid, plasma, and transcellular fluid. Interstitial fluid surrounds cells, plasma is the fluid component of blood, and transcellular fluid is found in cavities such as cerebrospinal, synovial, and peritoneal fluids.
What are the two sources of extracellular fluid?
The two main sources of extracellular fluid are the interstitial fluid, which surrounds cells in tissues, and the blood plasma, which circulates within blood vessels. These two sources provide nutrients and oxygen to cells and help remove waste products from the body.
Why does lymph contain less protein than plasma?
Lymph contains less protein than plasma because lymph is formed from interstitial fluid that leaks from blood vessels into tissues. This leakage results in the loss of some proteins to the tissues. Therefore, once the interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, it has a lower protein concentration than plasma.
