Question

Which fluid within the body surrounds the cells so as to maintain homeostasis?

Select one:
a. Synovial fluid
b. Organ fluid
c. Plasma within blood
d. Tissue fluid
e. Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Explanation:

extracellular fluid

The extracellular fluid, in particular the interstitial fluid, constitutes the body's internal environment that bathes all of the cells in the body. The ECF composition is therefore crucial for their normal functions, and is maintained by a number of homeostatic mechanisms involving negative feedback.
