Q

What is the hydrostatic pressure?

A

There is high pressure in the blood vessels/capillaries compared to the interstitial fluid/ECF which pushes fluid out to the interstitial space.
Exerts pressure against the wall of the capillaries, driving fluid outside the capillaries
higher hydrostatic pressure= net filtration
