Document Summary

Filtration exceeds reabsorption (net loss of blood plasma at the capillaries) Two forces involved in bulk transport: hydrostatic pressure (water pressure/ blood pressure always high inside the capillary than outside) and net colloid osmotic pressure (pressure that makes osmosis occur) Hydrostatic pressure relative to the osmotic pressure: osmotic pressure stays the same throughout, but the hydrostatic pressure changes (35 in artery vs. 15 in vein) Osmolarity of interstitial fluid is low, not a lot of dissolved substances in the interstitial fluid. At the arteriole end, the hydrostatic pressure in the capillary and the net hydrostatic pressure exceeds the net osmotic pressure and we get filtration. At the venous end, the hydrostatic pressure has dropped and is lower than the osmotic pressure and we get absorption. Difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure pressure outside (interstitial fluid) Hp drops as you go from arteriole side to venous side. A large portion of the blood is in the veins.
