Question

1) In the dynamics of blood flow through capillaries, blood hydrostatic pressure:

(a) is completely canceled out by osmotic pressure.

(b)forces fluid out of the capillary at the arterial end and into the capillary at the venous end.

(c)generally forces fluid from the interstitial space into the capillaries.

(d) forces fluid out at a declining rate along the entire length of the capillary.

(e) forces fluid out at a steady rate along the entire length of the capillary.

2) Edema can be caused by

(a) increased oncotic pressure.

(b) inadequate lymph drainage.

(d) increased velocity of blood flow.

(e) increased interstitial fluid hydraulic pressure

3) Blood flow is __________ proportional to resistance and _____________ proportional to the blood pressure gradient.

(a) directly, inversely

(b) directly, inversely

(d) directly, directly

1. (b) forces fluid out of the capillary at the arterial end and into the capillary at the venous end.

2. (e) increased interstitial fluid hydraulic pressure

3. Blood flow is inversely proportional to resistance and directly proportional to the blood pressure gradient.
