Which of the following statements is False concerning the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial space?
A) Blood hydrostatic pressure forces fluid from the capillary to the interstitial space.
B) Blood osmotic pressure moves fluid from the interstitial space to the capillary.
C) The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is less than the blood osmotic pressure.
D) The hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid is largely unimportant in determining fluid movement.
E) The net filtration pressure is usually zero.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure is not usually zero; it is the balance of hydrostatic and osmotic pressures that determines the direction of fluid movement, typically resulting in a net movement of fluid out of the capillaries.
