Question
Chapter 2, Problem 4TOF
Summary Introduction
To Determine:
Whether the given statement "The hydrophilic heads of membrane phospholipids are in contact with the both ECF and ICF" is true or false.
Introduction:
Intercellular fluid (ICF) is the plasma that has left the capillaries and streamed into the spaces present between the cells of the tissues is also known as tissue fluid or interstitial fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) can be defined as the fluids that exist outside of cells of the organism, but it is closed within the body cavities and vessels. It is known as blood plasma when it travels in the circulatory system.
