Question
Where is blood pressure highest in a capillary?
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 filtration at the arteriolar end and reabsorption at the venule end.
Hint
The end connected to the arteriole has higher pressure than the end connected to the venule.
