Movement of fluid between compartments

Question 1

What do Hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure regulate

Answer 1

movement of water and electrolytes between compartments

Question 2

Why does Fluid moves from plasma to interstitial space at arteriolar end of capillaries

Answer 2

because hydrostatic pressure of the blood exceeds colloid osmotic pressure

Question 3

why does Fluid moves from interstitial space back into plasma at venular ends of capillaries

Answer 3

because colloid osmotic pressure exerted by plasma proteins now exceeds hydrostatic pressure

Question 4

Why does Fluid migrates from interstitial fluid into lymphatic capillaries

Answer 4

, because of higher hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid

Question 5

Describe the relationship between total solute concentrations and water amounts

Answer 5

Normally equal

Question 6

What will Net gain or loss of water will cause

Answer 6

shifts affecting both the intracellular and extracellular fluids, due to changes in osmotic pressure
