Abnormally high pressure within the skull is known ​as Increased intracranial pressure

Increased intracranial pressure is an abnormal rise in the pressure inside the skull that can result from or cause brain injury. It can be due to a rise in pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. It can also be due to a rise in pressure within the brain itself. Presence of a mass (such as a tumor), bleeding into the brain or fluid around the brain, and swelling within the brain can also cause increased intracranial pressure.

Whether there is a net flow of fluid into or out of a capillary at a given spot along its length depends on _____.whether or not
castortr0y [4]

Answer: Depends on the balance between blood pressure and osmotic pressure.

Explanation:

The capillaries are part of the microcirculation that transports nutrients to the tissues and removes cell excreta. The walls of the capillaries are extremely thin, constructed of single - layer, highly permeable endothelial cells. Therefore, water, cell nutrients and cell excreta can all interchange quickly and easily between the tissues and the circulating blood.

The tissues of the body is made up of soo many capillaries which helps to deliver blood and it's contents to it. The hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries tends to force fluid and it's dissolved substances through the capillary pores into the interstitial spaces. Conversely, osmotic pressure caused by the plasma proteins( called COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE) tends to cause fluid movement by osmosis from the interstitial spaces into the blood. This osmotic pressure excreted by the plasma proteins normally prevents significant loss of fluid volume from the blood into the interstitial spaces.

Therefore, a balance between hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries which is influenced by blood pressure and osmotic pressure in order for a net flow of fluid into or out of a capillary to occur.
