You are studying bulk flow in a tissue. You have measured the following: Blood pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 30mmHg Osmotic pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 20 mmHg partial pressure of oxygen at the arterial end of the capillary – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 40mmHg partial pressure of O2 at the venous end – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 46mmHg Blood pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 14mmHg Osmotic pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 20 mmHg Pick all that would apply A)the 10 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid B)the 6 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid C)the hydrostatic pressure declines from the arterial side to the venous side because oxygen is lost. D)the pH is lower on the arterial side than on the venous side. E)the osmotic pressure remains constant due to carbon dioxide compensation. F)oxygen is taken up by the erythrocytes within the capillaries.

Question

You are studying bulk flow in a tissue. You have measured the following:

  1. Blood pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 30mmHg
  2. Osmotic pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 20 mmHg
  3. partial pressure of oxygen at the arterial end of the capillary – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 40mmHg
  4. partial pressure of O2 at the venous end – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 46mmHg
  5. Blood pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 14mmHg
  6. Osmotic pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 20 mmHg

Pick all that would apply

A)the 10 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid
B)the 6 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid
C)the hydrostatic pressure declines from the arterial side to the venous side because oxygen is lost.
D)the pH is lower on the arterial side than on the venous side.
E)the osmotic pressure remains constant due to carbon dioxide compensation.
F)oxygen is taken up by the erythrocytes within the capillaries.
