BLOOD VESSELS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Net filtration pressure (NFP) is equal to the
A
blood hydrostatic pressureminus the tissue hydrostatic pressure
B
colloid osmotic pressure inthe blood divided by resistance in the tissue.
C
blood pressure times thetotal peripheral resistance
D
net hydrostatic pressureminus the net colloid osmotic pressure.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NET FILTRATION PRESSURE (NFP) is the total pressure that promotes filtration. To calculate NFP, we subtract the forces that oppose filtration from the GBHP. A normal NFP (using the figures mentioned) would be: NFP=55-(15+30)=55-45=10mm Hg.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The net filtration pressure (NFP) is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane is a true statement. Net filtration pressure is the net or resultant force that pushes filtrate out of the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The net filtration pressure is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net osmotic pressure.
