Pressure Hydrostatic Fluid Draw Label Annotate Diagram Explain

At the venous end of a capillary, hydrostatic pressure is lower than oncotic pressure, resulting in a net movement of water into the capillary via osmosis.

En el extremo venoso del capilar, la presión hidrostática es menor que la oncótica, resultando en un movimiento neto de agua hacia el capilar por ósmosis.

Front Draw, label and annotate diagram to explain the movement of liquid into a capillary.
Back Venous end:
  • Hydrostatic pressure falls to 2.3kPa as fluid has moved out and pulse is completely lost
  • Oncotic pressure is -3.3kPa so it is stronger than hydrostatic pressure and water moves from tissue fluid back into capillaries by osmosis
