Tissue fluid forms through ultrafiltration at the arteriole end of capillaries, where high hydrostatic pressure forces small molecules and water out of the blood and into the tissue fluid.
- ventricular systole generates high hydrostatic pressure at arteriole end of capillaries - small molecules and <b>water</b> forced out of blood through capillary walls into tissue fluid - by ultrafiltration, down hydrostatic pressure gradient
