Question

At point X (figure A) a. CHP exceeds COP; fluid moves from the capillary into the interstitium b. COP exceeds CHP; fluid moves from the capillary into the interstitium c. CHP equals COP; there is no net fluid flux d. CHP exceeds COP; fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary e. COP is less than CHP; fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary At point Y (figure A) a. CHP exceeds COP; fluid moves from the capillary into the interstitium b. COP exceeds CHP; fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary c. CHP equals COP; there is no net fluid flux d. CHP exceeds COP; fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary

Explanation / Answer

Please find the answers below:

Part 1: Choice a (the capillar hydrostatic pressure prevents leakage of fluid from the capillary bed into the interstitium Thus, when CHP is higher than capillary oncotic pressure or COP, it will lead to net outward movement of fluid and its accumulation in the interstitium)

Part 2: Choice b (Just as reverse of the part 1, when COP will be higher due to accumulation of plasma proteins, it will exert a pressure inwards and promote the accumulation of fluid from interstitum to the capillary by osmosis. Thus, a higher value of COP and CHP promotes movement of interstitial fluid into the capillary by osmosis)
