Final answer:

When a hypertonic solution is given intravenously, fluid moves from the interstitial space into the venous circulation.


Explanation:

Fluid moves from the interstitial space into the venous circulation when a hypertonic solution is given intravenously. In a hypertonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a higher osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell, causing water to leave the interstitial space and enter the venous circulation.
