interstitiële

Interstitiële refers to something that is situated in the spaces between tissues or organs. In medicine, the term interstitial is frequently used to describe locations where disease processes occur or where diagnostic procedures are performed. For example, interstitial lung disease affects the tissue and space around the air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. Interstitial fluid is the fluid found in these spaces, which plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients and waste products between the blood and cells. It is also known as tissue fluid. The interstitial space is the area where cells are bathed and exchange substances. Understanding the interstitial space is vital in fields ranging from physiology to pharmacology, as it is a key area for drug delivery and the immune response. Conditions affecting this space can have significant implications for organ function and overall health.
