[edit] Interstitial
"Interstitial fluid is a type of extracellular fluid. It is formed when materials such as Oxgen and Nutrients diffuse out of the capillaries to be taken in by the body's organs. Interstitial fluid contributes to the formation of lymph."
This sounds like something Galen would say. Maybe it should be redirected directly into lymph.
[edit] Other component?
- Interstitial fluid is one of the two components of extracellular fluid besides plasma.
What is the other of the two components besides plasma (three components total, counting plasma)? Or is plasma the other component, for a total of two components? The interpretation of the statement is ambiguous. In the former case, the third component should be mentioned in passing. In the latter, the sentence should be rephrased (e.g., "one of the two components of extracellular fluid, the other being plasma") to eliminate the ambiguity. I'd make the change, but I don't know which connotation is correct. — Jeff Q 02:38, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Since nobody responded to my query, I removed the ambiguity using the second inference, which appears to be backed up by the extracellular fluid article. — Jeff Q (talk) 10:56, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Since Intercellular Fluid, Tissue Fluid, and Interstitial Fluid all refer to the same thing, these all should be the same article. Intercellular Fluid redirects to Tissue Fluid already, so all that needs to be done is to merge Interstitial Fluid into Tissue Fluid and create a redirect. Albert109 05:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Interstitium
Interstitium redirects here, but the article fails to explain this concept which it should. Actually, shouldn't the entire article be moved to interstitium? as that concept is slightly wider and we don't need separate articles. // habj (talk) 23:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
