The Starling equation describes the forces that govern the movement of fluid across capillary membranes in the body. Specifically, it relates to the balance of hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure that influences the filtration and absorption of fluids in the capillaries and surrounding tissues. The equation is essential in understanding fluid dynamics in the circulatory system and is often used in physiology and medicine to explain edema and fluid balance.
