At the venous end of the capillary, net osmotic pressure exceeds hydrostatic pressure. by 8 (25 minus 17) mmHg. This can be described either as a net filtration pressure of. -8 mmHg, or as a net absorption pressure of +8 mmHg. Either way, there is a. tendency for fluid to re-enter the capillary at its venous end. This amounts to a net. reabsorption rate of 12 ml/min across all capillary beds. It will be evident that net filtration at the arterial end and net reabsorption at the. venous end of the capillary do not quite balance.
The capillary vascular supply consists of two distinct capillary beds, the glomerulus and the peritubular capillary bed. Vessels leading to and from the glomerulus, the first capillary bed, are both arterioles: the afferent arteriole feeds the bed while the efferent arteriole drains it.The glomerular capillary bed has no parallel elsewhere in the body. It is a high-pressure bed along its entire length.ts high pressure is a result of two major factors: (1) the bed is fed and drained by arterioles (arterioles are high-resistance vessels as opposed to venules, which are low-resistance vessels), and (2) the afferent feeder arteriole is larger in diameter than the efferent arteriole draining the bed.
