to develop

, The electrolyte that has a higher concentration in the extracellular fluid that in the
intracellular fluid is ___ ions

The inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid is called _____ pressure
a. capillary hydrostatic
b. interstitial osmotic
c. capillary osmotic
d. interstitial hydrostatic - CORRECT ANSWER C
How do clinical conditions that increase vascular permeability cause edema?
a. through altering the negative charge on the capillary basement membrane, which
enables excessive fluid to accumulate in the interstitial compartment
b. by causing movement of fluid from the vascular compartment into the intracellular
compartment, which leads to cell swelling
