MCQ B.5.3.
The Capillaries
1 / 4
In the case of severe malnutrition, ascites (=swelling of the abdomen) may occur. Which pressure in this case do you expect to be abnormal?
2 / 4
In the microcirculation in the small intestine, the following pressures were measured: in the capillaries a hydrostatic pressure of 20 mmHg and an oncotic pressure of 10 mmHg whereas in the interstitial space, a hydrostatic pressure of 3 mmHg and an oncotic pressure of 15 mmHg was measured. What is the net filtration pressure in this case?
3 / 4
If the net filtration pressure pressure at the beginning of a capillary is +5 mmHg and at the end of the capillary -5 mmHg, what is most probably this pressure hallway this particular capillary?
4 / 4
If the hydrostatic pressure at the beginning of a capillary is 25 mmHg and at the end of the capillary 15 mmHg, what is most probably the pressure hallway this particular capillary?
