what is tissue fluid

Answer 1

Tissue fluid is a combination of oxygen, water and nutrients. The fluid surrounds the cells in the body.

Question 2

step 1

Answer 2

Blood enters capillaries from arterioles resulting in high hydrostatic pressure at the arterial end.

Question 3

2

Answer 3

Molecules like glucose, aa fatty acids, ions water and oxygen are forced out – resulting in tissue fluid.

Question 4

3

Answer 4

Lage molecules like proteins remain in the capillaries, lowering the water potential

Question 5

4

Answer 5

At the venule end there is low hydrostatic pressure and water potential so water re enters by osmosis (not all)

Question 6

5

Answer 6

Remaining tissue fluid absorbed into lymphatic system
