If capillary pore size increases,as in severe burns,
A)capillary filtration of water decreases.
B)albumin is filtered from the capillaries and is deposited in the tissue space.
C)blood volume overload develops,causing the heart to fail.
D)all of the above occur.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capillary pore size increasing can cause albumin to be filtered from the capillaries and deposited in the tissue space, leading to edema. Capillary filtration of water may increase or decrease depending on other factors, and blood volume overload causing heart failure is not a direct consequence of capillary pore size increasing in severe burns. Therefore, only option B is the best choice.
