Question

The physical force exerted by a fluid on a structure is ____________ . The main pressure is the ____________ hydrostatic pressure, which pushes materials ____________ the capillary. The other main force regulating filtration and reabsorption is ____________ , which refers to the "pull" of water into an area by osmosis due to the ____________ relative concentration of solutes.

Answer 1

The physical force exerted by a fluid on a structure is HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE . The main pressure is the BLOOD hydrostatic pressure, which pushes materials OUT OF the capillary. The other main force regulating filtration and reabsorption is OSMOTIC PRESSURE , which refers to the "pull" of water into an area by osmosis due to the HIGHER relative concentration of solutes.
