Please I need help understanding this 

**Text Transcription:**

"The net filtration pressure is higher at the __________________ end of capillaries and that's why approximately 3-4L of fluid accumulates daily in the tissues."

**Filled Answer:**

"Venous"

**Explanation:**

This text discusses how the net filtration pressure varies across different ends of capillaries, contributing to the accumulation of fluid in body tissues. The answer "Venous" suggests that this higher pressure occurs at the venous end of capillaries, resulting in the daily buildup of 3-4 liters of fluid. This is a common topic in discussions of fluid dynamics in physiology. There are no graphs or diagrams to analyze in this image.
