Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The water in the tissue fluid moves back into the capillary by osmosis due to a water potential gradient between the tissue fluid and the blood. Any remaining tissue fluid is called lymph which is drained into the lymphatic system and is eventually returned to the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen moves from the capillary toward the cells of the tissues and organs. Carbon dioxide moves from the cells and into the capillaries. Blood leaves the capillary and enters the small venules. These venules become progressively larger vessels called veins.
