In which area of the capillary is water concentration the highest?
B1
B2
B3
In which area of the capillary is solute concentration the highest?
B1
B3
The pressure of blood inside the capillary forces water out of the blood and into the interstitial spaces.
This force is called:
hydrostatic pressure
osmotic pressure
High solute concentration inside the capillary draws (pulls) water back into the blood from the interstitial spaces.
This force is called:
hydrostatic pressure
osmotic pressure
