Which change will increase fluid reabsorption by the capillaries?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increases in blood osmotic pressure can cause fluid to move from the interstitial space into the capillaries, promoting reabsorption. This is due to the fact that increased blood osmotic pressure results in a greater concentration of solutes within the capillaries, which creates a gradient that favors the movement of fluid into the capillaries. The other choices would not promote fluid reabsorption (A) decreased hydrostatic pressure would promote filtration, (B) increased capillary blood pressure would promote filtration and (D) increased interstitial fluid osmotic pressure would promote movement of fluid out of the capillaries into the interstitial space.
