		Approximately two-thirds of the body’s water is contained in the intracellular fluid, the fluid portion of the cytoplasm of cells.
		The rest is extracellular fluid, which includes the intravascular fluid (the blood plasma), the cerebrospinal fluid, and the interstitial fluid.
		That is, the concentration of solutes in the cells and in the interstitial fluid that bathes them is balanced, so that water does not tend to move into or out of the cells.

	Extracellular fluid Summary
		The body fluids found outside the cells, such as plasma (the liquid portion of blood and lymph), and interstitial fluid, are generically termed extracellular fluid.
		The interstitial fluid has almost the same composition of plasma, except for having much lower protein concentrations, and it is filtered to the extracellular matrix from the capillary vessels by diffusion (i.e., capillary pressure).
		The extracellular fluid filtered from the blood vessels (arterial capillaries) into the extracellular matrix flows among the cells transporting nutrients and chemical messengers and receives from cells metabolites, ions, proteins, and other substances, and is then reabsorbed by either the venous or the lymphatic capillaries.

	Fluid Balance
		The extracellular fluid is further divided into that which is found as blood plasma within blood vessels, and that which is found in the microscopic spaced between cells called interstitial fluid.
		Of the ECF approximately 80% is interstitial fluid and 20% is blood plasma
		There are some special fluid and compartments including: lymph; cerebrospinal fluid; synovial; aqueous humour/vitreous body of the eyes; endolymph/perilymph in the ears; pleural, pericardial and peritoneal fluid between serous membranes; and glomerular filtrate in the kidneys.

	Dermal Interstitial fluid glucose ...
		The conclusion drawn was that dermal interstitial fluid glucose readings are an accurate way of estimating plasma glucose concentrations, warranting further research into systems for home monitoring that rely on interstitial fluid measurements.
		Since there is no truly significant lag time for changes in interstitial fluid glucose concentration compared with changes in plasma glucose, it is hypothesized that the kinetics of dermal interstitial fluid is similar to that of plasma.
		Until then, the less but still invasive interstitial fluid method with its potential improvements of reduced pain, increased ease and equal accuracy, will be only a step along the way and not a piece of a bigger solution.

	Cartilage Interstitial Fluid Pressurization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Interstitial fluid pressurization has long been hypothesized to play a fundamental role in the load support mechanism and frictional response of articular cartilage.
		The first objective of this study was to investigate experimentally the hypothes is that cartilage interstitial fluid pressurization does support the great majority of the applied load, in the testing configurations of confined compression creep and stress-relaxation.
		It was found that interstitial fluid pressure supported more than 90% of the total stress for durations as long as 725+/-248 s during stress-relaxation (mean+/-SD, n=7), and 404+/-229 s during creep (n=7).

	Cartilage Interstitial Fluid Pressurization in Dynamic Loading (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The cartilage interstitial fluid pressure and deformation were measured simultaneously as a function of time.
		These properties were employed in the biphasic theory to predict the interstitial fluid pressure response and compare it to experiment, resulting in nonlinear coefficients of determination ranging from r^2=0.89+/-0.15 to r^2=0.96+/-0.03 depending on frequency.
		It was found for the samples of this study that above a characteristic frequency of 0.00044 Hz, the magnitude and phase of fluid pressurization matched the applied stress, reducing the tissue strain at the impermeable bottom surface to nearly zero.

	Fluid Compartment Deficits - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Fluids administered must remain in the intravascular space, increase the vessel wall tension, and obliterate the need for the baroreceptor compensatory response.
		Animals with rapid fluid loss into a third body fluid space (a space within the body cavity where fluid from the local interstitial and intravascular spaces leak) have rapid fluid shifts from the intravascular compartments into these spaces before clinical evidence of interstitial fluid loss is seen.
		Fluid selection becomes critical, with the rate and volume titrated until the goals of resuscitation have been met (ie, normal heart rate, blood pressure, perfusion parameters).

		This is due to the pressure of the fluid being higher at the arterial end of the capillary than at the venous end.
		The pressure of the interstitial fluid (IFHP) is a negative one of -5mm/Hg.
		A similar situation exists between the interstitial fluid and the intracellular fluid although it is complicated by the presence of ion pumps and carriers.

	ISF-Plasma Exchange
		The aqueous solutions that compose the plasma and the interstitial fluid exchange readily through the thin walls of most of your body's capillaries.
		Most of the fluid within the capillaries is retained, but some filters through pores between the cells, pushed by the pressure difference between the capillary blood and the ISF.
		The decrease in hydrostatic pressure results in a diminution in the region where fluid is lost from the plasma, and an expansion in the region where fluid returns back to the plasma.

	Interstitial fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid, or intercellular fluid) is a solution which bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals.
		Interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent containing amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, salts, as well as waste products from the cells.
		The composition of tissue fluid depends upon the exchanges between the cells in the tissue and the blood.

	Fluid Compartment Dynamics - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		The membrane separating the intravascular and interstitial compartments is freely permeable to water and small ions, while the membrane surrounding the intracellular space is not.
		Whether or not fluid remains in the intravascular space or moves into the interstitium is the result of the differences between the COP and hydrostatic pressure in the 2 compartments.
		Fluid moves into the interstitial space when intravascular hydrostatic pressure is increased over COP, membrane pore size increases, or intravascular COP becomes lower than interstitial COP.

	Improving Drug Delivery to Tumors
		Interstitial fluid is the fluid found in the spaces between tissues and organs, and is outside the vascular and lymphatic systems.
		The interstitial spaces are important for the transport of nutrients and drugs from blood vessels to neighboring cells.
		All of these factors increase the tumor interstitial fluid pressure to the point where it almost equals the capillary fluid pressure inhibiting the outflow of capillary contents.

	Fluid Exchange in Tissues
		These substances can be transported from the blood capillaries to the interstitial fluid to the cells and back again by diffusion, filtration, osmosis, and active transport.
		Essentially, the water balance in the plasma and interstitial compartments depends on blood pressure and plasma protein concentration.
		The intracellular fluid is hypertonic with respect to the interstitial fluid, therefore, water moves into the cells by osmosis at #4.

		Interstitial fluid normally contributes to the nourishment of tissues.
		This causes the normal volume of interstitial fluid formation to exceed the rate of lymphatic return, resulting in the stagnation of high molecular weight proteins in the interstitium.
		Accumulation of interstitial fluid leads to massive dilatation of the remaining outflow tracts and valvular incompetence that causes reversal of flow from subcutaneous tissues into the dermal plexus.

	VIII. Control of Extracellular Fluid Volume
		The extracellular fluid compartment is a complex entity composed not only of two major divisions, the vascular and the interstitial fluid compartments, but also of several subdivisions of these, each with differing characteristics.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that the control of ECF fluid volume, in marked contrast to control of the ECF osmotic concentration, is accomplished by a variety of mechanisms, many of which are poorly understood.
		It is customary to speak of control of extracellular fluid volume, but it is apparent that many of the various mechanisms are triggered by factors related to the volume of the vascular compartment.
