👉 The containing fluid, also known as the interstitial fluid, is a vital component of biological systems, primarily found in the spaces between cells and within tissues. It circulates through the body, providing essential support and facilitating various physiological processes. This fluid acts as a medium for nutrient and waste exchange, helping cells maintain their structural integrity and function. It also plays a crucial role in temperature regulation and acts as a shock absorber, cushioning tissues from mechanical stress. The containing fluid is primarily composed of water, electrolytes, proteins, and various nutrients, tailored to meet the specific needs of different tissues and organs.
