To sustain intercelluar pressure
Fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries
Blood flows in capillaries, but there is blood leaks out from the capillaries, known as tissue fluid or interstitial fluid.
An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries
because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules
Fluid enters the lymphatic system (this system returns fluid and proteins to blood) by diffusing into lymph capillaries. This fluid is now called lymph and is kind of like interstitial fluid in composition. This movement of fluid is determined by net balance. It only diffuses into the capillaries if there isn't enough fluid there to begin with.
False, would increase the amount of fluid leaving the capillaries.
Generally the blood pressure at arterial end of the capillaries is about 30 mm of mercury. The blood pressure at the venous end of the capillaries is about 15 mm of mercury. The fluid exit the capillaries at arterial end. Fluid enters the capillaries at venous end.
I just had the question "Every minute, about 1.5mL of fluid leaks out of the capillaries" on a true/false quiz and the answer was true.
Air or fluid leakage.
blood
Lymph
Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid) is a solution that surrounds the cells of animals. It is the main component of the extracellular fluid, it includes plasma and transcellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is found in the interstitial spaces, also known as the tissue spaces.
