A colloid is a system in which finely divided particles are dispersed within a continuous medium in a manner that prevents them from being filtered easily or settled rapidly.
Dextran, Starch and Albumin are all colloids. They create an osmotic gradient to keep fluid intravascular.
Ringers Lactate is a crystalloid solution. It doesn't have the same osmotic pull that colloids have.

ringers lactate is not a colloid all the others create an osmotic gradient. Ringers allow the flow

Ringer's is a crystalloid. Did you know that Ringer's was developed to mimic the fluid lost in cholera, so it's basically a clean intravenous diarrhea poop?

Belfus is right. RL is a crystalloid.
