Interstitial fluids is the fluid that surrounds the cells and fills the gaps between them; this fluid also composes seventeen percent of our body weight. One of the most important body fluids is our blood. The average density of blood ranges from 1025-1125 kg/m3 and an average velocity of 11-13 cm/sec. Our blood carries out many functions with one of the most important ones being carrying oxygen (O2) from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the tissues to the lungs.
