The Starling Principle states
A) net fluid movement between the capillary and the interstitial fluid is due to the hydrostatic pressure and the colloidal pressure.
B) colloidal osmotic pressure in blood capillaries causes water to move into the capillary.
C) small lipid-soluble molecules diffuse directly through the endothelial cells of capillaries.
D) exchange of lipid-insoluble molecules in capillaries is by pinocytosis.
E) pressurised fluid is forced through gaps between cells of the capillary walls.
