Question
Chapter 21, Problem 7CP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The way hydrostatic and osmotic pressures determine fluid movement across the walls of capillaries.
Introduction:
Filtration is the process whereby fluid and solutes are forced through blood capillaries and into the interstitial fluid. The term "reabsorption" refers to the pressure-driven migration of interstitial fluid into blood capillaries.

How do hydrostatic and osmotic pressures determine fluid movement across the walls of capillaries?
Blood pressure at the arterial end of capillaries is about 40 mm Hg in humans. If blood pressure at the venous end is about 15 mm Hg, and colloid osmotic pressure is 25 mm Hg throughout, what is the net effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissue spaces?
What is colloid osmotic pressure? In which direction does colloid osmotic pressure drive the movement of water in a capillary?
