Summary Introduction
To review:
Determination of movement of fluid across the walls of the capillaries by osmotic and hydrostatic pressures.
Introduction:
The pressure-driven process, in which the movement of the solutes and the fluid occurs from the capillaries of the blood into the interstitial fluid, is known as filtration. The pressure-driven process, in which the movement takes place from the interstitial fluid into the capillaries of the blood, is known as reabsorption.

How do hydrostatic and osmotic pressures determine fluid movement across the walls of capillaries?
Blood pressure at the arterial end of capillaries is about 40 mm Hg in humans. If blood pressure at the venous end is about 15 mm Hg, and colloid osmotic pressure is 25 mm Hg throughout, what is the net effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissue spaces?
What is colloid osmotic pressure? In which direction does colloid osmotic pressure drive the movement of water in a capillary?
