According to the Starling's equation, which forces influence the movement of fluid from the bloodstream to the interstitium?
I.microvascular hydrostatic pressure
II.interstitial osmotic pressure
III.microvascular osmotic pressure
IV.interstitial hydrostatic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Starling's equation, the movement of fluid from the bloodstream to the interstitium is influenced by two forces: microvascular hydrostatic pressure (which tends to push fluid out of the blood vessels) and interstitial osmotic pressure (which tends to pull fluid into the interstitium). Therefore, options I and II are correct. Microvascular osmotic pressure (III) and interstitial hydrostatic pressure (IV) do not influence the movement of fluid in this direction.
