| two types of fluid connective tissue | blood, lymph |
| three classes of extracellular fluid | blood, lymph, interstitial fluid |
| plasma | watery matrix around blood cells (the liquid portion of blood) |
| formed elements | the blood cells and cell fragments in blood plasma |
| three types of formed elements | white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets |
| movement of extracellular fluid through the body | 1. arteries carry blood away from the heart 2. BP forces some fluid and small solutes across capillary walls making it interstitial fluid (around cells) 3. interstitial fluid enters lymphatic vessels becoming lymph 4. lymph is returned to the heart |
