Capillary Filtration



Hydrostatic Pressure is the (Push / Pull) Force and is driven by __________________ and

__________________. It is higher at the ( Arteriole / Venule) end of the capillary. It will push fluid

from the (intravascular/interstitial) space to the ( intravascular/interstitial) space.


Osmotic Pressure is the (Push/Pull) force and is driven by ______________________. It is higher at the

(arteriole / venule) end of the capillary. Decreased osmotic pressure is common in patients with

______________ and ______________. The cause of edema is a shift of fluid from the

(intravascular/interstitial) space to the (intravascular/interstitial) space.


Fluid Movement Principles


Explain increased capillary permeability. What can trigger increased capillary permeability?




Excessive fluid in the interstitial compartment is also known as ______________________.



Fluid Imbalances

Explain why older adults and infants may be at a higher risk for dehydration
