Answer:

It is called "blood hydrostatic pressure".

Step-by-step explanation:

This occurs in tight or enclosed space. It is the force exerted by the blood confined within the heart chambers. And this(pressure) at the arterial end of the capillaries tends to drive fluid out of the capillary and into the tissue area.
