Question
At which end of a capillary is blood pressure HIGHER?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Blood pressure is higher at the arteriolar end of a capillary and lower at the venule end. This pressure gradient drives fluid out of the capillary at the arteriolar end (filtration) and allows reabsorption at the venule end.
Hint
The end connected to the arteriole has higher pressure than the end connected to the venule.
