Starling Forces Flashcards
1
Q
~ Favors FILTRATION
~ determined by PRESSURE and RESISTANCE in arteries and veins
Normal value: 25 mmHg
A
CAPILLARY HYDROSTATIC Pressure
2
Q
~ Opposes filtration; Favors ABSORPTION
~ INC by INC plasma PROTEIN concentration
Normal value: 28 mmHg
A
CAPILLARY ONCOTIC pressure
3
Q
~ Opposes filtration; Favors ABSORPTION
~ Slightly NEG due to lymphatic pump
Normal value: -3 mmHg
A
INTERSTITIAL HYDROSTATIC pressure
4
Q
~ Favors FILTRATION
~ determined by interstitial PROTEIN concentration
Normal value: 8 mmHg
A
INTERSTITIAL ONCOTIC pressure
5
Q
~ Promotes filtration
~ Hydraulic conductance of capillary wall
A
FILTRATION COEFFICIENT
6
