Solution

Interstitial fluid or tissue fluid is the fluid that surrounds the cells, it is formed when blood passes through the capillaries. The capillary walls are permeable to small solute molecules and ions, but not to red blood cells, platelets and plasma proteins, tissue fluid is therefore a water like liquid which resembles plasma minus its proteins.
