two way movement of fluid across capillary walls
capillary exchange
29
How do materials get from the blood into the surrounding tissue?
capillary exchange
30
The flow of blood back to the heart
venous return

mechanism of contracting muscle squeezes blood out of the compressed part of the vein
skeletal muscle pump (most important)
33
mechanism that allows blood to flow faster with inhalation
thoracic (respiratory) pump
