A medical student is studying the bulk flow across capillaries, Starling’s law in particular. He establishes that fluid is being forced out of a capillary with a net filtration pressure of 8 mmHg and he obtains the following laboratory values:
Capillary hydrostatic pressure 24 mmHg
Capillary colloid osmotic pressure 17 mmHg
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure 7 mmHg
What is the interstitial colloid osmotic pressure?
