fluid in the tissues, but not in the cell or in blood vessels, is called ______ fluid.

○ interstitial
○ peripheral
○ cytoplasmic
○ cytosolic

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Interstitial: Interstitial fluid is the fluid that occupies the spaces between cells in tissues, not inside cells or blood vessels.
• Peripheral: Refers to outer or away from the center, not related to tissue fluid definition.
• Cytoplasmic: Cytoplasm is inside the cell, so cytoplasmic fluid would be intracellular, not in tissues outside cells/vessels.
• Cytosolic: Cytosol is part of the cytoplasm (intracellular), so not the fluid in tissues between cells.

So the correct term is interstitial.

Answer:

A. interstitial
