Abstract
Since its formulation in 1896, Starling's hypothesis has been the most
fundamental principle guiding investigations of microvascular permeab
ility and fluid distribution between the blood and the tissues. The pr
inciple's explanatory powers have been strengthened greatly over the p
ast 30 years by better understanding of the dynamic nature of the inte
rstitial forces.
