M8 Meat Inspection Skill Check Flashcards

1
Q
  1. Explain how a decrease in the amount of blood protein can cause oedema
A

The decrease in protein will drop the osmotic pressure therefore less fluid will be drawn back into the capillary at the venous end, which means more tissue fluid will remain in the tissues
