Extracellular fluid (extra-outside)
Blood plasma makes up about 20-25% of the extracellular fluid in the body. The other main component of extracellular fluid is interstitial fluid, which makes up the remaining 75-80%.
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)

plasma
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
in some animals there are two major subcompartments of extracellular fluid. intestinal fluid and blood plasma.
Interstitial fluid, plasma, and transcellular fluid.
Blood -> plasma -> extracellular fluid -> cells.
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.
Plasma is considered part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes fluid within the interstitial spaces, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Extracellular fluid is further classified into intravascular (plasma) and interstitial fluids.
Extracellular fluid is found outside of cells in the body, including in the blood (plasma) and in the spaces between cells (interstitial fluid). It plays a vital role in transporting nutrients, waste products, and signaling molecules throughout the body.
