Interstitielliselle

Interstitielliselle is a term that refers to something located within or relating to the interstitial spaces. In a biological context, this often pertains to the interstitial fluid, which is the fluid found in the spaces between cells. This fluid plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the blood and the cells. The interstitial space itself is the physical area surrounding cells, within tissues and organs. This space is not empty but is filled with interstitial fluid and extracellular matrix components.

The concept of interstitial can also be applied to other fields. For instance, in materials science, interstitial sites are the spaces between atoms in a crystal lattice. These sites can be occupied by impurity atoms, affecting the material's properties. In medicine, interstitial diseases refer to conditions affecting the lung tissue outside the air sacs, such as interstitial lung disease. These conditions involve inflammation or scarring of the interstitium of the lungs. The term interstitial emphasizes the location between more prominent structures or components.
