Which of the following ors filtration at the aeriolar end of the capillary bed?
Correct Answer: Increase in hydrostatic pressure of capillaries
Description: Starling's forces: The forces acting on the capillary to cause movement of fluid into or out of the capillary. Two forces that tend to move the fluid out of the capillary - Capillary hydrostatic pressure Interstitial colloid oncotic pressure. Two forces that tend to move the fluid back into the capillary - Plasma colloid oncotic pressure Interstitial hydrostatic pressure. At the aeriolar end of the capillary: The balance or net sum of these forces or the fluid to move out; thus fluid leaks out of the capillary at this end. At the venous end of the capillary: The balance or net sum of these forces is in the or of fluid movement back into the capillary.
