Describe what Bulk flow across a capillary bed. A. In your description, define what Net filtration pressure, hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure. B. What should occur at the arterial end of the capillary bed and what should occur at the venous end of the capillary bed? Draw a picture if that helps. (In other words, tell me if fluid should be moving out of capillary or should be moving into capillary)
