The ______________ is equal to the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the capillaries minus the hydrostatic pressure of tissue interstitial fluid outside the capillaries.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure is calculated as the difference between the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the capillaries and the hydrostatic pressure of the tissue interstitial fluid outside the capillaries. This pressure difference determines the direction and rate of fluid movement across the capillary wall. Blood pressure and osmotic pressure may contribute to the overall pressure gradient, but they are not equal to the net filtration pressure.
