Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The concentration of extracellular chloride is inversely proportional to that of the other major an-ion, bicarbonate (HCO3).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
To minimize interstitial fluid in the alveolar-capillary region, the hydrostatic pressure difference must be kept low. The pulmonary circulation is in fact a low-pressure system. The mean pulmo-nary vascular pressures are approximately one-sixth of those in the systemic circulation. Colloid osmotic pressure exceeds hydrostatic forces across the entire length of the pulmonary capillaries in healthy individuals.
