Exam 2 Flashcards
T or F All of the fluid that filters out of the arterial end of a capillary is normally absorbed on the venous end of the capillary
False
T or F Diffusion in the only important method of gas, nutrient and waste exchange across most capillaries.
True
T or F The volume of the interstitial fluid is more than three times that of the plasma.
False
Compared to when you are standing up, when you are laying down
a. You have higher parasympathetic activity
b. You have higher sympathetic activity
A - you have higher parasympathetic activity
- Pressure is lower in
a. The abdominal cavity
