Summary Introduction

To determine: The correct arrangement of compartments, such as interstitial fluid, plasma, and intracellular fluid with respect to the movement of a glucose molecule in the body.

Introduction: Small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract where the majority of biomolecules are digested and absorbed into the body. The transportation of these absorbed nutrients is carried out with the help of blood.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The compartments out of interstitial fluid, intracellular fluid and plasma which are considered as extracellular fluid (ECF).

Introduction: The substances synthesized and secreted by the cells forms the extracellular matrix. This matrix consists of extracellular fluid in which cells and other substances are suspended. Plasma is the extracellular fluid present in blood vessels in which blood cells are suspended.
