Question

If the NDP above is on the arterial end of the capillary, and the only change in starling forces on the venous end are a decrease in capillary hydrostatic pressure to 15, what will be the net direction of fluid movement?

Answer 1

The net direction of fluid movement at the venous end of the capillary will be reabsorption.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net direction of fluid movement at the venous end of the capillary will be reabsorption. This is because the capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) at the venous end is lower than the blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP), causing water to be drawn into the capillary.
