Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood colloid osmotic pressure (also known as oncotic pressure) is the force exerted by proteins, such as albumin, in the blood plasma that tends to pull water into the circulatory system from the extracellular space. This osmotic effect is a key factor in maintaining the balance of fluid between the circulatory system and the tissues.
