AB  - The  normal  function  of  parenchymal  cells  is  largely  dependent  on  the  integrity  of  the  interstitial  tissues  that  make  up  the  immediate  microenvironment  of  the  cells.  Interstitial  tissue  is  composed  of  cells,  water  and  electrolytes,  ground  substance,  and  fibrillary  elements  (Figure  2-1).  The  pH  and  the  electrolyte  composition  of  interstitial  tissue  are  maintained  in  equilibrium  both  with  those  of  plasma  in  capillaries  and  with  those  of  the  intracellular  fluid  compartment.  The  ground  substances  and  supporting  fibers  of  interstitial  tissue  are  produced  by  specialized  connective  tissue  cells  derived  from  the  mesoderm  (mesenchymal  cells),  mainly  fibroblasts.
