Document Summary

Pressures driving fluid in and out of capillaries. Pressure exerted by presence of fluid in system. Within capillary - equal to the blood pressure within that capillary. Within ecf - equal to pressure exerted by the presence of fluid in space. Hydrostatic pressure within a capillary - hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid (usually 1 mmhg) Venous side - pressure in capillary is lower ~16 mmhg. Pressure gradients tend to force fluid out of the capillary and into the extracellular fluid. Both positive pressures with the driving force directed out of the capillary. Osmotic pressure exerted by the presence of proteins. Proteins too large to diffuse out of the capillary walls. Hydrostatic pressures push fluid from an area of hydrostatic pressure to an area of low hydrostatic pressure. Arterial end of capillary - hydrostatic pressure is higher than the oncotic pressure. Venous end of capillary - hydrostatic pressure less than oncotic pressure.
