Expert Solution

Step 1

Edema is the swelling or puffiness of body parts. Edema most commonly affects the feet, ankles, and legs. It can also affect the hands and face. Edema is most common in pregnant women and older persons, although it can affect anybody.

The interstitium is made up of cells, blood vessels, and connective tissues that hold the cells together in all tissues of the body. The blood arteries (as the "liquid" or serum component of your blood) and the interstitial spaces are where most of the body's fluids that are found outside of the cells are generally stored (not within the cells). Excess fluid can build up in one or both of these compartments as a result of numerous disorders.
