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.
The principle force that causes movement of fluid from tissues into capillaries is oncotic pressure. This pressure is generated by the presence of proteins in the blood that draw fluid back into the capillaries by osmosis.
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.
This process, known as filtration, is driven by the pressure difference between the blood inside the capillaries (hydrostatic pressure) and the fluid in the tissue spaces outside the capillaries (osmotic pressure). The hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid out of the capillaries, while the osmotic pressure in the tissue spaces helps to prevent excessive fluid loss by drawing fluid back in.
