stream
• At the venous (vein) end of the capillary, the
blood has lost its hydrostatic pressure. The
combined effect of the hydrostatic pressure in
the tissue fluid and the osmotic force of the
plasma proteins is sufficient to move fluid
back into the capillary.
• It carries with it any dissolved waste
substances, such as carbon dioxide, that have
