What Situation Will Result in Increased Formation of Lymph

Question

What situation will result in increased formation of lymph?
A) Decreased osmotic pressure in blood capillaries
B) Decreased osmotic pressure in tissue fluid
C) Decreased volume of tissue fluid
D) Decreased protein concentration in tissue fluid

Accepted Answer

Decreased osmotic pressure in blood capillaries leads to increased formation of lymph because it reduces the reabsorption of fluid back into the capillaries, resulting in more fluid remaining in the tissues that will then be picked up as lymph.
