|
Blood colloid osmotic pressure is largely due to
|
|
the proteins in the blood, and it promotes reabsorption
|
|
|
the high amount of water in the blood, and it promotes diffusion out of the capillaries
|
|
|
the proteins in the blood, and it promotes filtration
|
|
|
the high amount of water in the blood, and it promotes filtration from arterioles
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The pressure created by the concentration of colloidal proteins in the blood is called the blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP). Its effect on capillary exchange accounts for the reabsorption of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Albumin is responsible for much of the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood, and hence is a very important factor in regulating the exchange of water between the plasma and the interstitial compartment, which is the space between the cells.
