Plasma proteins are too big to move out of the vessel wall; therefore, they would cause water to move __________ the plasma. This is due to the osmotic effect of the proteins, called _____________ pressure.

If sodium concentration is higher in the interstitial fluid, water (solvent), will travel via osmosis to the outside of the cell.  In osmosis, the solvent will travel across a semipermeable membrane toward an area where there is a higher concentration of a solute.  The solute being sodium.
