∙ 12y agoAfter eating a meal all nutrients from the food is diffused into the blood vessels, so the nutrients increase the osmolarity of the plasma extracellular fluid, and there is more solutes in the blood vessels and less water, water will move from the intercellular fluid inside the cells and into the plasma by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a high to low concentration.
Fluid moves between the plasma and the interstitial fluid through the walls of the capillaries, the smallest blood vessels. This movement occurs as a result of two forces, the hydrostatic pressure within the capillaries, pushing water and solutes out, and an osmotic gradient due to the plasma proteins in the capillaries, drawing water into the capillaries. The volume of fluid leaving the capillaries slightly exceeds that re-entering. This excess interstitial fluid is taken up by the lymph vessels and returns to the vascular system.

The blood always flows through the blood vessels in a certain way and how does the blood flow through the blood vessels once it leaves the heart?
It always flows the same way. It leaves the heart through the Aorta. This is the largest artery in the body. The blood then branches off into progressively smaller arteries until it gets to the tissues. It enters the capillaries at the cell level and then moves into the veins. The reverse process then happens where the blood enters progressively larger arteries until it gets back to the heart where it starts the journey all over again.
