"The structure is a network of tissues which is found throughout the
body, wrapping around the entire digestive tract,the lungs, and every
artery and vein. The medical researchers dubbed the network the
interstitium, and they argue should be deemed its own organ. [...] When researchers looked more closely, they saw that between the
spread-out cells was a series of fluid-filled sacs. A series of strong
but flexible tissue filled with functioning proteins connected all these
sacs together. This, the researchers deemed wasn’t the same as other
connective tissue found throughout the body and thus could be its own
entity, which they dubbed the interstitium."
