Answer:

Answer is below:

Step-by-step explanation:

As oxygen molecules diffuse into the cell, they are consumed. But interstitial fluid volume is only a little more than half the intracellular fluid volume. The circulating blood must be brought close to the cells since the systemic organs (tissues) are connected in parallel.

Hope this helps!
