An increase in filtration of fluid from the pulmonary capillaries into the interstitium occurs with ________ pressure.
A) increased capillary colloid
B) increased capillary hydrostatic
C) decreased capillary hydrostatic
D) decreased interstitial colloid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capillary hydrostatic pressure exceeds capillary colloid osmotic pressure,fluid moves from the capillary to the interstitium.Increased capillary colloid pressure,decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure,or decreased interstitial colloid pressure would all prevent fluid movement out of the capillaries.
