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
11. How do clinical conditions that increase vascular per- D
meability cause edema?
a. through altering the negative charge on the cap-
illary basement membrane, which enables excessive
fluid to accumulate in the interstitial compartment
b. by causing movement of fluid from the vascu-
lar compartment into the intracellular compartment,
which leads to cell swelling
c. through leakage of vascular fluid into the intersti-
tial fluid, which increases interdigital fluid hydrostatic
pressure
d. by allowing plasma proteins to leak into the intersti-
tial fluid, which draws in excess fluid by increasing the
interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
12. The process responsible for distribution of fluid be- B
tween the interstitial and intracellular compartments
is
a. filtration
b. osmosis
c. active transport
d. diffusion
13. Which electrolyte imbalances cause increase neuro- C
muscular excitability?
