Which of the following inaccurately represents normal forces across capillary walls?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure actually decreases or remains relatively constant from the arteriole end to the venous end of capillaries, rather than increasing. This is because the hydrostatic pressure within the capillaries pushes fluid out into the interstitial space at the arteriolar end, and then fluid is reabsorbed at the venous end due to the lower hydrostatic pressure and relatively higher oncotic pressure inside the capillaries.
