Question
Chapter 5.6, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To summarize:
The result of the blood and osmotic pressure change at the venous end of a capillary.
Introduction:
The blood capillaries are so narrow that blood pressure can easily drive the fluid across them. At the arterial end of the capillaries, blood pressure is higher than the osmotic pressure. In contrast, at the venous end, osmotic pressure is higher than the blood pressure.
