The contraction of the heart's ventricles generates high hydrostatic pressure, which forces water and dissolved substances out of blood capillaries, contributing to tissue fluid formation.
A contração dos ventrículos do coração gera alta pressão hidrostática, que força a água e substâncias dissolvidas para fora dos capilares sanguíneos, contribuindo para a formação de fluido tecidual.
