<strong>Lymphatic</strong> System<br />

From one-third to two-thirds of the plasma<br />

entering a capillary passes into the tissue<br />

space.<br />

The cells in the tissue space are bathed in<br />

this interstitial or extracellular fluid (ECF)<br />

that has been filtered from the blood. In the<br />

tissue space is where cells acquire all their<br />

needs and deposit all their products.<br />

Although most of this interstitial fluid returns<br />

to the venule end of the capillary, some does<br />

not.
