Pressure High Tissue Blood End Fluid Leads Accumulation

Front High blood pressure leads to an accumulation of tissue fluid.  Explain how ( 3 marks)
Back 1. High blood pressure = high hydrostatic pressure; 
2. Increases outward pressure from (arterial) end of capillary/reduces inward pressure at (venule) end of capillary; 
3. (So) more tissue fluid formed /less tissue fluid is reabsorbed;
