by admin. Plasma vs Interstitial Fluid. Water is the main component of body fluids. The body water can be found mostly in two major compartments called intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Intracellular fluid can be found within the cells of the body.The extracellular fluid can be found outside of the cells. Blood plasma and interstitial fluid are the major compartments of extracellular fluid. Plasma. The extracellular fluid found within the vascular system is the blood plasma.Blood cells and platelets are suspended in this blood plasma.nlike in plasma, only some leucocytes can be found in interstitial fluid. â¢ The glucose concentration is higher in plasma than interstitial fluid. â¢ Amino acid and oxygen concentration are also higher in plasma than in interstitial fluid. â¢ One fourth of the extracellular fluid is composed of water in plasma.
