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
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
c. through leakage of vascular fluid into the interstitial fluid, which increases
interdigital fluid hydrostatic pressure

excess fluid by increasing the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
ANSWER: D
The process responsible for distribution of fluid between the interstitial and
intracellular compartments is
a. filtration
