Question

Although net filtration occurs at the ____________ end of a capillary and net reabsorption at its ____________ end, not all of the fluid is reabsorbed.

Answer 1

Answer:

Although net filtration occurs at the ARTERIAL end of a capillary and net reabsorption at its VENOUS end, not all of the fluid is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Net filtration is majorly observed in proximity to the arterial end of the capillary due to the fact that capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is much more than blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP). There happens to be no net movement of fluid to be seen in proximity to the midpoint due to the fact that CHP = BCOP. Net reabsorption is seen to be found at proximity to the venous end as a result of BCOP to be much more than CHP.
