Interstitial Fluid

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Humans have more interstitial fluid than blood, but what is interstitial fluid? The video allows learners to understand interstitial fluid by seeing it in a photo, learning its definition, showing where it comes from thanks to hydrostatic and osmotic pressure, what it contains, and where it ends up in the body.
