Q. Identify the incorrect statements and correct choose the correct option accordingly I. Interstitial fluid (tissue fluid) and lymph have almost similar composition II. Lymph and interstitial fluid have no larger proteins and RBC III. Exchange of the nutrients and gases, etc., between the blood and cells always occurs through tissue fluid IV. Interstitial fluid has the same mineral distribution as that of the plasma V. Lymph can be defined as the blood minus RBC but has specialised lymphocytes
