B
Filtration is the movement of fluids through pores in response to hydrostatic pressure differences. As capillary pores enlarge, more fluid (including solute) filters from the plasma volume into the interstitial space. If such conditions persist, the plasma volume can be seriously depleted while the interstitial volume increases.
