Question

A fluid bathes every cell in the body and provide a medium of exchange between the cells and blood capillaries. All the following are correct terms for this fluid except.

Answer 1

The incorrect term for the fluid that bathes the body's cells, except for blood cells, is 'the fluid in the cytosol of the cells.' Interstitial fluid, not cytosol, serves this function as part of the extracellular fluid compartment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fluid that bathes every cell in the body and facilitates the exchange of materials between cells and blood capillaries is commonly referred to as interstitial fluid. This fluid is part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes plasma and transcellular fluid. The statement that is incorrect in identifying the fluid that bathes the body's cells, except for the blood cells, is: a. the fluid in the cytosol of the cells

The fluid inside cells, known as the cytosol or intracellular fluid, is not the same as interstitial fluid, which exists in the spaces between cells and provides nutrients and waste removal services to the cells. The interstitial fluid and plasma communicate through pores and clefts in capillary endothelium, which allows for the exchange of water, nutrients, and waste between these two components of the extracellular fluid.

Answer 2

Options are:

a) lymph.
b) interstitial fluid.
c) extracellular fluid (ECF).
d) plasma.

All the following are correct terms for this fluid except lymph.

The interstitial fluid surrounds the cells in the body. The other major component of the ECF is the intravascular fluid of the circulatory system called blood plasma.
Lymph is a fluid which contains infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
