4 forces that move water between capillaries and interstitial spaces Flashcards
1
Q
Capillary Filtration (hydrostatic) pressure
A
weight of the water within the capillaries exerts a force to push water OUT of capillaries INTO interstitial space
2
Q
Capillary Colloidal Osmotic (oncotic) pressure
A
proteins within the capillaries exert a force to pull water INTO capillaries OUT of interstitial space
3
Q
Interstitial Hydrostatic Fluid Pressure
A
weight of the water within the interstitial space exerts a force to push water OUT of the interstitial space INTO the capillaries
4
Q
Interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure
A
proteins within the interstitial space exert a force to pull water OUT of the capillaries INTO the interstitial space
