Tissue Fluid - watery liquid that contains glucose, animo acids, fatty acids, salts, and oxygen. The blood flows along through the body and eventually reaches a capillaries are a lot more narrow then arteries, so the Hydrostatic Pressure increases. Because the hydrostatic pressure has increase water is forced out, leaving the proteins, and this lowers the water potential of the blood, which then pulls the water back in, via osmostic pressure.
Is this right? If anyone could correct me, that'd be great, I really do not understand tissue fluid.
What's with lymph nodes?
(:
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait, . Got it!
I just had to recap.
So right.
When blood reaches the capillaries, the diameter is a lot less, so this creates hydrostatic pressure. This hydrostatic pressure forces fluid out of the capillary. However because of the new hydrostatic pressure outside of the capillaires, and the low osmotic pressure in the capillaires, due to the plasma proteins, water moves back in.
