passing of arterial solution through the capillary wall, caused by positive intravascular pressure

osmosis

passing of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration

lock stitch

stitch that is used by passed the ligature through both sides of the incision from the outside with the stitch being locked by the looping pattern
