Questions and Answers

Which of the following is true about interstitial fluid?

  • It is derived from the capillaries through filtration and diffusion. (correct)
  • It contains higher concentrations of proteins than plasma.
  • It is identical to plasma in terms of its constituents.
  • It is formed by the pores of the capillaries.

What is the main difference between interstitial fluid and plasma?

  • Plasma is derived from the capillaries.
  • Plasma contains more proteins than interstitial fluid. (correct)
  • Plasma has the same constituents as interstitial fluid.
  • Plasma is formed by the pores of the capillaries.

Why do proteins have lower concentrations in interstitial fluid compared to plasma?

  • Proteins are actively transported into interstitial fluid.
  • Proteins are broken down in interstitial fluid.
  • Proteins are synthesized in interstitial fluid.
  • Proteins do not pass outward through the pores of the capillaries easily. (correct)
