Pressure that is due to Oncotic
albumin in the
bloodstream?
Oncotic a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins
In the blood, is the albumin
most common
plasma protein and is,
therefore, a primary
determinant of
oncotic pressure
_ controls osmotic Albumin
pressure in vascular
system, builds volume
