Pressure Oncotic Draw Label Annotate Diagram Explain Movement

Front Draw, label and annotate diagram to explain the movement of liquid out of a capillary.
Back Arterial end:
  • Hydrostatic pressure is at about 4.6kPa bc it is still under pressure from surge of blood every time heart contracts
    • It is higher than oncotic pressure so fluid is squeezed out of the capillaries - tissue fluid 
  • Oncotic pressure is about -3.3kPa due to presence of plasma proteins
