Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The principal cation that is found in blood plasma is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The liquid portion of the blood is an interstitial fluid which fills up the spaces between the tissues and moves in lymph vessels. It is termed as plasma. Most of the vital, life-sustaining processes take place within the cells, and therefore, the chemical composition of intracellular fluid is much different from the other fluids present in the body.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The principal cation that is found in interstitial fluid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The adult human body contains approximately 42L of fluids. The fluids in the body can be categorized as intracellular fluids and extracellular fluids. The intracellular fluids make up the majority of the fluids. They are located within a cell. Whereas, the extracellular fluids are located outside a cell. The fluid, which fills the space between the tissues, is termed as interstitial fluid.
