According to the Starling equilibrium equation, which of the following will facilitate fluid filtra-tion from the capillaries into the interstitial space?
a. Low capillary hydrostatic pressure
b. Low capillary permeability
c. High capillary osmotic pressure
d. High interstitial osmotic pressure
Question 2
Under normal circumstances, a small amount of fluid is filtered from the capillary in excess of that which is absorbed. What prevents edema from occurring under these conditions?
a. The lymphatic system absorbs it and re-turns it to the circulatory system.
b. Tissue cells absorb this fluid and use it in the metabolic process.
c. Wandering macrophages use this excess fluid in hydrolyzing invaders.
d. Waste products dilute this, maintaining eutonic conditions.
