increase capillary pressure

anything that increases capillary pressure will increase

A

the forces moving fluids out

102
Q

what would increase capillary pressure (generally)

A

more blood through a capillary

103
Q

if right side of heart begins to fail what happens to venous pressure

if pressures get higher what happens to filtration ratio in capillaries

A

increase

107
Q

if pressures get higher what happens to filtration ratio in capillaries what does it do regarding fluid

extra - might get edema

fluid going out so much they have pulmonary edema

109
Q

what else might increase filtration besides capillary pressure (body wise)

Q

review pg 32

A

32

understand why elecated capillary presure would increase lymph flow, etc

137
Q

hemorrhage how would that change lymph flow

A

capillary pressure decreased so lymph flow will change to net reabsorption to try to make up for lost fluid and try to increase blood volume so individual can live

138
Q

severe dehydration does what to lymph flow

A

changes from net filtration to net reabsorption

139
Q

vasodilator will do what to caipllary pressure

A

increase

140
