Question
the net osmotic pressure is equal at both the arterial and the venous ends of the capillary. true or false true false
Brief Explanations
Net osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) is mainly due to plasma proteins. It remains relatively constant along the capillary as the amount of protein in the plasma doesn't change significantly from the arterial to the venous end. Hydrostatic pressure changes (decreases from arterial to venous end), but net osmotic pressure is equal at both ends.
