Question

what term describes water that resides between cells? select one a. interstitial fluid b. diuretic fluid c. intravascular fluid d. avascular fluid e. intracellular fluid

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Interstitial fluid is the fluid that exists between cells (in the interstitial space).
• Option B: Diuretic fluid is not a standard term for fluid between cells; diuretics are substances that increase urine production.
• Option C: Intravascular fluid is within blood vessels (plasma), not between cells.
• Option D: Avascular fluid is not a recognized term for fluid between cells; "avascular" refers to lack of blood vessels.
• Option E: Intracellular fluid is inside the cells, not between them.

So the correct term for water between cells is interstitial fluid.

Answer:

A. Interstitial fluid
