If Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure (CHP)exceeds Plasma Oncotic Pressure

Question

If capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP)exceeds plasma oncotic pressure,
A) fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary.
B) no net flux of water occurs.
C) blood volume expansion occurs.
D) fluid is filtered into the interstitium.

Accepted Answer

If capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) exceeds plasma oncotic pressure, fluid is filtered into the interstitium from the capillary. This is because the pressure inside the capillary becomes greater than the pressure outside, causing fluid to be forced out. This can occur in conditions such as edema or inflammation.
