6 Questions
Which of the following is true about interstitial fluid?
It is derived from the capillaries through filtration and diffusion.
What is the main difference between interstitial fluid and plasma?
Plasma contains more proteins than interstitial fluid.
Why do proteins have lower concentrations in interstitial fluid compared to plasma?
Proteins do not pass outward through the pores of the capillaries easily.
Which of the following is true about the composition of interstitial fluid?
It lacks proteins due to their difficulty in passing through capillary pores.
What is the primary reason why proteins have lower concentrations in interstitial fluid compared to plasma?
Proteins do not pass easily through the pores of the capillaries.
What is the role of filtration and diffusion in the formation of interstitial fluid?
Filtration and diffusion allow the passage of constituents, including proteins, into the interstitial fluid.
