Starling forces or fluid movement due to filtration across the wall of a capillary is dependent upon:
1) hydrostatic and oncotic pressure gradients across the capillary.
2) hydraulic (hydrostatic) in the vessel.
3) colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in the vessel.
4) colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in the tissue space.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starling forces include hydrostatic and oncotic pressure gradients across the capillary, hydrostatic pressure in the vessel, and colloid osmotic pressure both in the vessel and in the tissue space. These forces collectively determine the movement of fluid across capillary walls.
