“The presence of proteins in the plasma makes the osmotic
pressure of the blood higher than that of the interstitial fluid.
This osmotic gradient tends to pull water from the interstitial
fluid into the capillaries and offset filtration out of the capillaries
created by blood pressure”

“Ancient Chinese physicians linked blood to energy flow in
the body. They wrote about the circulation of blood through the
heart and blood vessels long before William Harvey described
it in seventeenth-century Europe. In China, changes in blood
flow were used as diagnostic clues to illness. Chinese physicians
were expected to recognize some 50 variations in the pulse. Because blood was considered a vital fluid to be conserved and
maintained, bleeding patients to cure disease was not a standard
form of treatment.”
