What percentage of extracellular fluid is accounted for by interstitial fluid and plasma? a) 20% b) 40% c) 80% d) 100%.

The correct answer is

Explanation:

Extracellular fluids are the fluids that are present outside the cells. The extracellular fluid is composed of plasma and interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid forms about 80% of extracellular fluid and plasma forms 20% of total extracellular fluids.

Extracellular fluids helps in the transport of nutrient, gases, hormones and other substances to the cells and they also helps in the removal of waste products of cells. Blood plasma contains clotting factors and other proteins that help in blood clotting. Therefore the right answer is d) 100%.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
