Question

Movement of fluids and solutes out of capillaries into the interstitial fluid occurs by filtration, which is driven by capillary blood pressure and opposed by

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be- interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure

Explanation:

The exchange of fluid between the tissues and the capillaries is determined by the hydrostatic pressure which refers to the pressure exerted by any fluid in an enclosed space.

The pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the capillary vessels is known as the capillary hydrostatic pressure which is responsible for the exchange of the fluid between tissues and the capillaries.

During the exchange of the fluid from the capillaries to the issues the hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid rises which is known as the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure. This pressure opposes the fluid exchange so the capillary hydrostatic pressure is usually found higher than the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure.

Thus, interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure is the correct answer.
