Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

On the venous end of a capillary, blood pressure is lower than on the arterial end, while osmotic pressure remains relatively constant due to the presence of proteins in the blood. This results in a higher osmotic pressure on the venous end, which drives fluid from the interstitial space back into the capillary.
