Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a correct explanation about tissue fluid production?
A
If the forces moving the fluid out of the capillaries are greater than the forces moving the fluid into the capillaries.
B
If the forces moving the fluid out of the capillaries are lesser than the forces moving the fluid into the capillaries.
C
If the forces moving the fluid into of the capillaries are greater than the forces moving fluid out the capillaries
D
If the forces moving fluid into of the capillaries are lesser than the forces moving fluid out the capillaries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluid movement into and out of capillaries is mainly dependent on two forces: hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is determined by fluid volume and the pressure of the fluid against the capillary walls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Starling forces are the physical forces that determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and tissue fluid. The two major starling forces are hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by blood inside the capillary or in the interstitial space.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pressure differentials govern fluid movement across physiologic semi-permeable membranes, and two of these forces are hydrostatic/hydraulic pressure and osmotic pressure.
