The hydrostatic pressure falls from the arteriole end of the capillary to the venule end of the capillary. Explain why.
Loss of water / loss of fluid / friction (against capillary lining).

The hydrostatic pressure of the blood at the arteriole end of the capillary helps to form tissue fluid. Explain how.
Hydrostatic pressure higher than osmotic âeffectâ; Forces / squeezes / pushes out / water / small molecules / ions / examples;

Lymphoedema is a swelling in the legs which may be caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system. Suggest how a blockage in the lymphatic system could cause lymphoedema.
Excess tissue fluid cannot be (re)absorbed / builds up

What is the role of the heart in the formation of tissue fluid?
Ventricle contraction produces high hydrostatic pressure
