Chapter 14, Problem 45RA
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The total pressure favoring absorption.
Introduction:
Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure generated by the fluid, against the gravity, on the blood vessels of intravascular or extravascular fluids. Osmotic pressure which is also known as oncotic pressure, is the pressure exerted by the plasma proteins and it displaces water molecules.

Given the following values, calculate the fluid movement between capillaries and tissues:
hydrostatic pressure of the capillary = 25 mm Hg
hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid = 5 mm Hg
colloid osmotic pressure of the capillary = 15 mm Hg
colloid osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid = 5 mm Hg
Group of answer choices
30 mm Hg into the capillary
30 mm Hg out of the capillary
10 mm Hg into the capillary
10 mm Hg out of the capillary

Blood pressure: 15 mmHg
Hydrostatic pressure in the tissues: -3 mmHg
Colloid Osmotic Pressure in a capillary: 28 mmHg
