Identify whether the following statements are true/false.

Platelets are absent in tissue fluid.

• As the blood flows in the capillaries of the tissues, the plasma and the leukocytes leak out through their walls.
  
• This fluid baths the cells and is called the tissue fluid or extracellular fluid.
  
• Thus, tissue fluid contains \(WBCs\), oxygen, glucose, amino acids, and other nutrients needed by tissue cells but lacks both \(RBCs\) and platelets.
