Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interstitial fluid is found in the spaces between cells and becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries. Option A is incorrect because antibodies are not typically found in interstitial fluid, but rather in blood or lymphatic fluid. Option B is incorrect because while some blood cells may escape from capillaries and enter interstitial fluid in the event of tissue injury, interstitial fluid itself does not contain significant numbers of red or white blood cells under normal circumstances. Option D is correct as interstitial fluid is present in connective tissue. Option E is incorrect because blood-clotting factors are produced in blood rather than interstitial fluid.
