Question

indicate whether each statement is true or false: 1. capillary exchange is the process by which cells receive nutrients and eliminate metabolic waste. 2. reabsorption is the movement of fluid out of a capillary. 3. a small amount of fluid moves out of capillaries at their venous ends, and most of that fluid reenters the capillaries at their arterial ends. 4. the force responsible for moving fluid out of a capillary is called hydrostatic pressure.

Explanation:

1. Capillary exchange indeed allows cells to get nutrients and remove waste.
2. Reabsorption is the movement of fluid back into a capillary, not out.
3. A small amount of fluid moves out at the arterial - end and most re - enters at the venous end.
4. Hydrostatic pressure is the force that pushes fluid out of a capillary.

Answer:

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True
