Question

Plasma proteins determine
A) plasma oncotic (osmotic) pressure.
B) capillary filtration pressure.
C) the rate of diffusion out of the capillary.
D) the size of the capillary pores.

Accepted Answer

Plasma proteins are responsible for maintaining plasma oncotic (osmotic) pressure, which plays a critical role in regulating the movement of fluids across capillary walls.
