Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capillary walls allow for the movement of materials through diffusion (movement from high concentration to low concentration), filtration (movement of fluid and solutes out of the capillary due to hydrostatic pressure), and reabsorption (movement of fluid and solutes back into the capillary due to osmotic pressure). Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
