c0mplete the following paragraph using the below terms. Diffusion is not the only process acting at capillary beds. Bulk flow is the movement of (1) ____________ and (2) __________ in response to a difference in (3)_______ pressure between regions. It does not affect diffusion much but it helps maintain the fluid distribution between blood and (4) _______ fluid. At the start of a capillary bed, a small amount of (5) ______ is pushed out in bulk through clefts in the (6)__________ wall. This process is called (7)_______. Farther on, tissue fluid moves back into capillaries through the clefts in the capillary wall. This is called (8)_________ _____________. Normally there is a tiny net (9) ________ flow from a capillary bed, which the (10)____________ system returns to the blood. (11)_________ blood pressure increases the amount of fluid leaving the capillaries. Too much fluid in interstitial spaces is called (12)_________. Commonly, gravity causes the fluid to pool in (13)________ and ankle tissues. Edema often follows physical exercise, because arteries in many tissues have (14)__________. It can also be caused by obstructed veins or (15) _________ failure. It is dramatic in (16) ____________, when roundworm infection slows the return of fluid to the (17)_________ vessels. a. high b. water c. capillary d. capillary reabsorption e. lymphatic f. solutes g. foot h. interstitial i. outward j. edema k. fluid l. plasma m. elephantiasis n. heart o. ultrafiltration p. dilated
