2)colloid osmotic pressure
3)capillary permeability

Question

Three factors are important in the production of serous fluid.Hydrostatic pressure drives a protein-free filtrate out of the capillaries and into the body cavities.Protein molecules remaining in the plasma because of capillary impermeability exert a force that counteracts the hydrostatic pressure and causes fluid to flow back into the capillaries.This force is called the colloid osmotic pressure and is proportional to the molar concentration of protein.
