Q

During capillary exchange ____ is a movement of fluid, nutrients, hormones, minerals, vitamins, and gases from the blood in capillaries into the tissue, while ____ is the movement of fluid with wastes from the tissue back into the blood in the capillaries

A

During capillary exchange, FILTRATION (ARTERIOLE END) is a movement of fluid, nutrients, hormones, minerals, vitamins, and gases from the blood in capillaries into the tissue, while REABSORPTION (AT VENULE END) is the movement of fluid with wastes from the tissue back into the blood in the capillaries

Q

Two forces determine whether filtration or reabsorption will occur at a given location along the length of the capillary. The force at the arterial end of the capillary that causes filtration is called ______ while the force at the venule end that causes reabsorption is called ________ which is due to the presence of a plasma protein in capillary blood called _____

A

Two forces determine whehter filtration or reabsorption will occur at a given location along the length of the capillary.
