Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Increased interstitial oncotic pressure would attract water from the capillary into the interstitial space. Increased capillary oncotic pressure would attract water from the interstitial space back into the capillary. Increased interstitial hydrostatic pressure would attract movement of water from the interstitial spaces into the capillary. Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure would move water into the capillaries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Blood plasma is the intravascular fluid. ICF is fluid in the cells. ECF is all the fluid outside the cells. Interstitial fluid is fluid between the cells and outside the blood vessels.
