What is the Capillary fluid shift mechanism?

exchange of fluid that occurs across the capillary membrane between the blood and the interstitial fluid. This fluid movement is controlled by the capillary blood pressure, the interstitial fluid pressure and the colloid osmotic pressure of the plasma. Low blood pressure results in fluid moving from the interstitial space into the circulation helping to restore blood volume and blood pressure.


What is exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid compartments that takes place across the capillary membrane?
