The Force That Tends to Reabsorb or Pull Water Back

Question

The force that tends to reabsorb or pull water back into a capillary is called ________ pressure.
A)capillary hydrostatic
B)blood osmotic
C)arterial
D)venous
E)pulse

Accepted Answer

Blood osmotic pressure, also known as oncotic pressure, is created by the concentration of proteins in the blood. This force tends to pull water back into the capillary bed, which helps to maintain fluid balance in the body. Capillary hydrostatic pressure, on the other hand, is the force that pushes blood out of the capillary and into surrounding tissues, while arterial pressure is the pressure of blood within the arteries and venous pressure is the pressure of blood within the veins. Pulse refers to the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries due to the pumping of blood by the heart.
