In addition to osmosis, what force is involved in the movement of water between the plasma and interstitial fluid spaces?
A)Oncotic pressure
B)Buffering
C)Net filtration
D)Hydrostatic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water moves between the plasma and interstitial fluid through the forces of only osmosis and hydrostatic pressure, which occur across the capillary membrane. Buffers are substances that can absorb excessive acid or base to minimize pH fluctuations. Net filtration is a term used to identify fluid movement in relationship to the Starling hypothesis. Oncotic pressure encourages water to cross the barrier of capillaries to enter the circulatory system.
