Which of the following results from the fact that the osmotic pressure of blood is lower than the pressure at the arterial capillaries?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lower osmotic pressure in the blood compared to the arterial capillaries allows nutrients to flow from the capillaries into the interstitial fluid. This occurs through the process of diffusion, as nutrients move from an area of higher concentration (arterial capillaries) to an area of lower concentration (interstitial fluid). Wastes, however, do not flow from the interstitial fluid into the capillaries due to the pressure gradient.
