Question

The two components of extracellular fluid, the interstitial fluid and the blood plasma, are

  1. completely continuous
  2. separated by the cell walls
  3. within the cells of the body
  4. separated by the capillary walls
Expert Solution
Step 1

Body fluids are of 2 types -

ICF - Intracellular fluid,

ECF - Extracellular fluid.

  • The Intracellular fluid (ICF) compartment includes all the fluid enclosed in cells by their plasma membranes. 
  • All the cells in the body are surrounded by Extracellular fluid (ECF).

It has two primary components:

1. Plasma (the fluid component of the blood) and

2. The interstitial fluid (IF).
