Section “Interstitial space and extravascular drainage–transport pathways”
The interstitial space, as a critical component of connective tissue, has a complex architecture and is distributed throughout all tissues and organs of humans and animals. Interest in the interstitium has been rapidly increasing in recent years, as it is regarded as the largest organ, ensuring the movement of fluids, biopolymers, crystalloids, and cells within the body.
Interstitial fluid can travel considerable distances along extravascular pathways (interstitial channels) between fibrous matrices and connective-tissue cells.
Interstitial channels may act as conduits for electromagnetic signals of varying frequency and intensity (including lasers, LEDs, and broadband light in the visible and infrared ranges), and also serve as a carrier medium for metabolic substrates, waste products, and immune mediators.
Although the interstitium is not formally part of the lymphatic system, it represents an important link in tissue-fluid circulation and the initial stage of lymphatic drainage. The structure and composition of the interstitium in different organs and tissues share common features while also exhibiting distinct differences.
As an autonomous formation, interstitial fluid has the ability to form liquid-crystalline structures under the influence of the geometry of the occupied or displaced volume, external electromagnetic fields (including coherent fields), heat fluxes, and ionizing radiation.
Orientational ordering leads to considering the liquid-crystalline medium as soft or structured matter. This, in turn, results in a substantial increase in the complexity of its mechanics and electrodynamics and gives rise to many properties that have no analogues in conventional substances.
These characteristics of the interstitial space are important both for shaping modern concepts of new fundamental aspects of the structure and functioning of human and animal organisms, and for addressing a wide range of problems in contemporary medicine and pharmacology.
