  1. Define the following terms related to fluid movement across capillary walls (use your textbook, not online resources):
    a) Capillary hydrostatic pressure
    b) Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
    c) Capillary colloid osmotic pressure
    d) Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure


  2. Answer the following questions about edema:
    a) Define edema.
    b) ReadHomeostatic Imbalance 19.2in your textbook. Why is edema a potential problem?


  3. Answer all four parts ofquestion #28 in the Chapter 19 Review Questionsfound at the end of the chapter. For each of the four cases, include the following:
    a) Clearly state which of the 4 pressures is altered – capillary hydrostatic pressure, capillary colloid osmotic pressure, interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure, or interstitial colloid osmotic pressure. (Your answer should be one of the four listed options only)
    b) Is the altered pressure increased or decreased?
    c) Briefly explain how this pressure change lead to (or correct) edema?

Answer 1:
a)
Capillary hydrostatic pressure: the pressure exerted by the blood cells on the walls of the capillary where the blood is confined.
b)
Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure: Within the tissue space, this force is exerted by fluids is called.
c)
Capillary colloid osmotic pressure: An osmotic pressure influenced by albumin, a protein in the blood vessels displacing the water molecules, creates a water molecule deficiency, which leads to water movement back to the circulatory system with mower pressures (Hoffmann et al. 2019).
d)
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure: this is the pressure given by the colloids present in the interstitial fluid. Here the pressure is exerted by the large molecules, which can be created by proteins that usually cannot cause diffusion across the capillary membrane.
Answer 2:
a)
Edema: when the fluid of the body is in excess, causing inflammation in the ankles, legs, feet and other body parts like the face or hands and even abdomen, that swelling is called edema (Daruich et al. 2018). This can be caused due to multiple other diseases and as an...
