  c. 750 ml
  d. 1000 ml

Question 2

What is the net effect of the hydrostatic pressure gradient between the capillary and interstitial space?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Recovery after surgery or trauma may be similar to starvation. Under such conditions, approxi-mately 500 mg of protein and a similar amount of fat are metabolized. This yields approximately 1 L of water per day.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Movement of fluid and solutes from capillary blood to interstitial spaces is enhanced by the dif-ference in hydrostatic pressure between compartments. Hydrostatic pressure difference depends on blood pressure, blood volume, and the vertical distance of the capillary from the heart (i.e., the effects of gravity). Hydrostatic pressure tends to cause fluid to leak out of capillaries into the in-terstitial spaces.
