Which of these changes will increase fluid reabsorption by the capillaries
A)decrease in interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
B)increase in capillary blood pressure
C)increase in plasma-colloid osmotic pressure
D)increase in interstitial fluid-colloid osmotic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in plasma-colloid osmotic pressure will increase the osmotic pressure gradient between the capillary and interstitial fluid, which favors fluid reabsorption by the capillaries. The other choices would have the opposite effect, leading to a decrease in fluid reabsorption.
