Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds individual cells in a large animal. It provides nutrients, delivers hormones, and carries away wastes. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that carry blood to the tissues, but they are not always present in every part of the body, especially deeply embedded cells. Blood plasma is the liquid component of the blood and is not specifically localized around individual cells. The plasma membrane is the outer membrane of the cell that separates the cell from its environment, but it does not provide external nutrients or carry away wastes.
