Detailed explanation-1: -Even more specifically, the pressure exerted by blood against the wall of a capillary is called capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP), and is the same as capillary blood pressure. CHP is the force that drives fluid out of capillaries and into the tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrostatic pressure: The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. It increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.
Detailed explanation-3: -Normal capillary pressure, measured at the apex of the capillary loop with the capillary at heart level, ranges from 10.5 to 22.5 mmHg (Figure 4).
