A quote from Starling (1896)

Quote
"... there must be a balance between the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the capillaries and the osmotic attraction of the blood for the surrounding fluids. "

Quote
" ... and whereas capillary pressure determines transudation, the osmotic pressure of the proteids of the serum determines absorption."

Starling’s hypothesis states that the fluid movement due to filtration across the wall of a capillary is dependent on the balance between the hydrostatic pressure gradient and the oncotic pressure gradient across the capillary.

The four Starling’s forces are:

1) hydrostatic pressure in the capillary (Pc)
2) hydrostatic pressure in the interstitium (Pi)
3) oncotic pressure in the capillary (pc)
4) oncotic pressure in the interstitium (pi)

Sorry

I'm not too sure of the specifics. I thought the second question would steer you into the right direction.
