What is the name of the liquid that leaks out of capillaries and surrounds the cells?

Blood flows in capillaries, but there is blood leaks out from the capillaries, known as tissue fluid or interstitial fluid.


Will an increase in capillary pressure shift fluid into the capillaries?

An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries


Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?

because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules


How does osmosis determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial fluid?

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.


Increased blood pressure would decrease the amount of fluid leaving the capillaries?

False, would increase the amount of fluid leaving the capillaries.


What is the principle force that causes movement of fluid from tissues into 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.


Do capillaries leak out 1.5mL of fluid a minute?

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.


What causes the fluid part of the blood to be forced through the walls of the capillaries into the space inside the capsule?

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.
