Where in the capillary does reabsorption primarily occur?

• veinous end

• arterial end

• anywhere

• no reabsorption happens in capillaries

Calculate the Net Filtration pressure given the following values: Hydrostatic pressure (mmHg) (pushing): Blood in capillary: 33, Interstitial fluid: 0. Colloid osmotic pressure (mmHg) (pulling): Blood in capillary: 28, Interstitial fluid: 8. Total net pressure (in mmHg):

What is the role of blood proteins (mainly albumin) in capillary exchange?

What is the role of the lymphatic system in capillary exchange?

Angiogenesis is the natural process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. It is vital for wound healing, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and supporting the development of organs and tissues. In certain cases, tumors can stimulate angiogenesis by releasing chemical signals that encourage the growth of new blood vessels. Anti-angiogenics treatment blocks the formation of new blood vessels, how can it help reduce tumor growth?

How is the rerouting of the capillaries influencing tumor growth?
