[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
If someone suffered from hypertension, such that the blood pressure in their capillaries was elevated, then net filtration pressure would be
|
|
above normal
|
|
|
below normal
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Capillary pressure favors filtration of fluid into the interstitial space, so increasing PC leads to edema and lowering it favors reabsorption of fluid from the interstitial space into the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -As noted above, capillary hypertension results in the movement of protein-poor fluid into the interstitial spaces, reducing the concentration of tissue proteins and decreasing tissue colloid osmotic pressure (Figure 4.1).
