| Abstract: | An understanding of the principles of osmosis, diffusion and concentration gradients can help in gaining an understanding of how fluid moves across the capillary wall. The term ‘Starling’s Forces’ refers to this movement, after the scientist who first described it. Movement of fluid across capillary walls is essential for maintaining a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body’s cells and the blood supply. [Information of the supplier] |
