How would the body respond to a systemic capillary pressure of 22 mm Hg?
A. In response to the elevated pressure, fluid would be absorbed from the interstitial spaces to increase blood volume
B. 22 mm Hg is the normal systemic capillary pressure so no changes in blood volume would occur
C. In response to the elevated pressure, fluid would leak into the tissue spaces lowering the blood volume
D. In response to the decreased pressure, fluid would be absorbed from the interstitial spaces to increase blood volume
