Tissue Fluid Water Hydrostatic Pressure Enters Capillary Gradient

Front How does tissue fluid return to capillaries?
Back - loss of tissue fluid leads to low hydrostatic pressure at venule end of capillaries
- tissue fluid enters capillary down hydrostatic pressure gradient

- blood plasma loses water and retains proteins 
- more negative water potential
- water enters capillary by osmosis down wp gradient
