Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance between the direction and amount of fluid that flows across the capillary walls is determined by the balance between hydrostatic pressure (which tends to push fluid out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (which tends to pull fluid back into the capillaries). Therefore, choice B, which includes both hydrostatic and osmotic pressure, best reflects this balance. Choices A, C, and D do not fully capture this balance.
