Match the following:
$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ \left(i\right)\text{Intracellular fluid}& a.\text{Is present in the interstices of all body tissues}\\ \left(ii\right)\text{Extracellular fluid}& b.\text{Is separated by the cell membranes}\\ \left(iii\right)\text{Interstitial fluid}& c.\text{Contained within epithelial lined spaces}\\ \left(iv\right)\text{Transcellular fluid}& d.\text{Can be divided into interstitial fluid, transcellular fluid and blood plasma}\end{array}$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

The huge amount of fluid in our cells is categorized into two main types, each with different purposes: the intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid usually denotes all body fluid outside of the cells. The remainder is called intracellular fluid. In some animals, including mammals, the extracellular fluid can be divided into two major subcompartments, interstitial fluid, and blood plasma. Transcellular fluid is present between spaces lined by epithelium, for example, pericardial fluid.
