Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 15RQ
Which of the following statements is true?
- In one day, more fluid exits the capillary through filtration than enters through reabsorption.
- In one day approximately 35 mm of blood are filtered and 7 mm are reabsorbed.
- In one day the capillaries of the lymphatic system absorb about 20.4 liters of fluid.
- None of the above are true.

Which of the following statements is false concerning the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial space?
Group of answer choices
The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid does not oppose the movement of fluid from the capillary.
Blood hydrostatic pressure forces fluid from the capillary to the interstitial space.
The blood hydrostatic pressure and the blood osmotic pressure are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
Blood osmotic pressure moves fluid from the interstitial space to the capillary.
The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is less than the blood osmotic pressure.
Which of the following would promote the filtration of fluid out of a capillary and into the interstitial fluid?
Group of answer choices
An increase in hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid
An increase in both hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid and colloid osmotic pressure if the blood plasma
An increase in colloid osmotic pressure if the blood plasma
An increase in hydrostatic pressure in the capillary
