What is the relation of the donnan effect to osmotic pressure on capillary and on pH?

The Donnan effect refers to the uneven distribution of ions across a semipermeable membrane, affecting osmotic pressure by causing water to move across the membrane. In capillaries, this can impact fluid balance between blood and tissues. The Donnan effect can also influence pH by affecting the distribution of charged molecules, such as ions or proteins, leading to changes in the local pH levels.
