WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11 WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11: Pathophysiology Remediation Lesson 1: Homeostasis Concepts 1. Starling's Law of Capillary forces is the force behind the movements of fluid in capillary beds throughout the body. The two forces at work are hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. Homeostasis is achieved when these two forces are equal in the capillary- cell interfaces. When...

1. Analyze the pathologic consequences of fluid volume disorders on the mechanisms of fluid homeostasis. a. Explain the three main fluid compartments and describe how fluid shifts between the compartments and the implications for clinical practice. Total body water is approximately 60% of the body weight and is spread between the three main fluid compartments.
