Which term describes delivering nutrients and draining excess fluid from tissues?

Fluid Distribution describes how nutrients are delivered to tissues and excess interstitial fluid is drained, keeping tissues nourished and properly hydrated. It covers the movement of nutrients from blood to cells and the removal of surplus fluid, which is exactly what this description describes. Chyle is a fat-rich lymph fluid formed after digestion, not the general delivery of nutrients to all tissues. The lumen is the hollow inside space of a vessel or organ, a structural feature rather than a process. Homeostasis is the broader goal of maintaining stable internal conditions, which includes fluid balance but does not name the specific act of distributing nutrients and draining tissue fluid.
