A person with diarrhoea loses excessive salt and water from the body. This loss results in Na⁺ depletion, dehydration, a decreased extracellular fluid volume, a reduction in plasma volume, and a decreased systemic arterial blood pressure.The following refer to the events that occur to compensate for this fluid loss. Match the effects, labelled a. through c., with the factors listed. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
-net filtration pressure
A)exhibits no change
B)is increased
C)is decreased

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net filtration pressure is decreased due to the reduction in plasma volume and systemic arterial blood pressure, which reduces the hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries.
