What is the reason for increased interstitial fluid?
assistant
The correct answer is  Ans. C Increase hydrostatic pressure, decrease oncotic pressure* Starling's hypothesis states that the fluid movement due to filtration across the wall of a capillary is dependent on the balance between the hydrostatic pressure gradient and the oncotic pressure gradient across the capillary.The four Starling's forces are:1. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillary (Pc)2. Hydrostatic pressure in the interstitium (Pi)3. Oncotic pressure in the capillary (pc)4. Oncotic pressure in the interstitium (pi)The balance of these forces allows calculation of the net driving pressure for filtration.Net Driving Pressure =
