Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the capillaries cannot reabsorb the fluid, it will stay in the tissues, causing swelling and water retention.
Detailed explanation-2: -Of the fluid that leaves the capillary, about 90 percent is returned. The 10 percent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
