The inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid C
is called pressure
a. capillary hydrostatic
b.interstitial osmotic
c.capillary osmotic
d. interstitial hydrostatic
, How do clinical conditions that increase vascular D
permeability cause edema?
a. through altering the negative charge on the capillary
basement membrane, which enables excessive fluidto accumulate
