The movements of fluid across the capillary wall depend on all of the following except

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movements of fluid across the capillary wall are determined by the balance between hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure. The capillary blood pressure, interstitial-fluid hydrostatic pressure, plasma protein concentration, and interstitial-fluid protein concentration all play a role in this balance. However, the concentration of glucose in the capillary does not have a direct effect on this balance and is therefore not a factor in the movement of fluids across the capillary wall.
