Use the Data Below to Calculate the Rate of Net mL/min\mathrm { mL } / \mathrm { min }

Question 7

Short Answer

Use the data below to calculate the rate of net fluid movement (in mL/min\mathrm { mL } / \mathrm { min } ) across the capillary wall.
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure =40 mmHg= 40 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Cap illary hydrostatic pressure =10 mmHg= 10 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Venous hydrostatic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Arterial pressure =80 mmHg= 80 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Filtration coefficient =10 mL/min/mmHg= 10 \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { min } / \mathrm { mm } \mathrm { Hg }
A. 100 (filtration)
B. 200 (reabsorption)
C. 200 (filtration)
D. 300 (filtration)
E. 300 (reabsorption)
