Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In humans, blood plasma makes up less than 25% of extracellular fluid. Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in tissues and makes up the majority of extracellular fluid, while blood plasma is the fluid component of blood. Option A and D are incorrect because interstitial fluid makes up the majority of extracellular fluid, not less than 25%. Option C is incorrect because blood plasma and interstitial fluid are both components of extracellular fluid, and blood plasma makes up less than 25% of extracellular fluid, not interstitial fluid. Option E is incorrect because blood plasma makes up more than 5% of extracellular fluid.
