edema
Blood flows in capillaries, but there is blood leaks out from the capillaries, known as tissue fluid or interstitial fluid.
Tissue fluid or interstitial fluid, though blood leaks out as well x
If plasma proteins leak into the tissue spaces, it can lead to edema (swelling) due to increased osmotic pressure in the tissues. These proteins can draw water into the interstitial spaces, causing fluid accumulation and swelling. This can be seen in conditions like inflammation or damage to blood vessels.

No, the brain does not have empty spaces. It is mainly composed of brain tissue, which includes neurons, glial cells, and structures such as ventricles that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Any empty spaces within the brain are typically filled with either fluid or tissue.
the lymphatic system
The Lymphatic System .
The accumulation of protein in tissue spaces can lead to edema because proteins help to maintain the balance of fluid in the body. When there is an excess of protein in the tissue spaces, it can increase the osmotic pressure, pulling more fluid into the tissues and causing swelling. Additionally, increased protein levels can impair the function of the lymphatic system, which normally helps to drain excess fluid from the tissues.
The tissue fluid is called interstitial fluid. It fills the spaces between cells in tissues and is important for delivering nutrients and removing waste products.
The fluid that is forced out of the capillary beds into the tissue spaces by hydrostatic and osmotic pressure is called interstitial fluid. This fluid surrounds the cells in tissues and is essential for nutrient and waste exchange between blood and cells. It is a key component of the extracellular fluid compartment in the body.
