Thus, fluid generally moves out of the capillary and into the interstitial fluid. This process is called filtration. Osmotic Pressure. The net pressure that drives reabsorptionâthe movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid back into the capillariesâis called osmotic pressure (sometimes referred to as oncotic pressure).
Definition and Forces. Capillary action is the movement of liquid along a surface of a solid caused by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid. Let's simplify. Plants use capillary action to bring water up the roots and stems to the rest of the plant. The molecules of the water (the liquid) are attracted to the molecules of the inside of the stem (the solid). This attraction is used to help force the water up from the ground and disperse throughout the plant.
