In tissue exchange, materials move from plasma to the interstitial before moving into cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tissue exchange involves the movement of materials from the plasma to the interstitial fluid before they can enter cells. Oxygen and nutrients, for example, must first diffuse from the capillaries into the interstitial fluid before they can be taken up by cells through various transport mechanisms. Similarly, waste products must diffuse from cells into the interstitial fluid before they can be removed by the circulation.
