Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The capillary exchange refers to the exchange of the substances or material between the tissues and the capillaries. Venules are the small blood vessels that drain the blood back into capillaries. The deoxygenated blood from the tissues empties into the venules.

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.arrow_forward
