  • Human Biology

    Hydrostatic Pressure - (Capsular hydrostatic pressure + blood colloid osmotic pressure) This can be abbreviated as: NFP = GHP - (CHP + BCOP) NFP = 60 - (14 + 28) = 18 mm Hg 3.

  • Capillary Bed for Blood

    (a) is wrong because the hydrostatic pressure is lower on the arterial side. That means that fluids will enter the capillaries on the arterial side.
