Answer:

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Explanation:

  • Data:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg

Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg

Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg

  • Formula Applied :

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient

Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg

Oncotic pressure gradient =  Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25  - 2 = 23 mmHg

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.

Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

For all eating disorders, ______ is crucial. family
Contact [7]
I would say that support is crucial, especially family support for people with eating disorders. For example, those people who are under a lot of stress may eat too much and thus gain too much weight, whereas those who are depressed may eat too little so lose weight and both conditions can be helped by moral support and helping the afflicted person seek help as in medical help, massage, energy healing etc to help relieve their stress.

In a plant cell wall the layer that is between a membrane, adding additional protection and support; not found in all plant cell
Tomtit [17]

Answer: SECONDARY CELL WALL.

Explanation: When cell wall grow,it becomes thickened,then it further deposits new layers of a different material (different from that of the primary cell wall) from where secondary cell wall is formed.

This secondary cell wall is made up of cellulose,hemicellulose,and lignin.

They function in providing additional strength,support, rigidity to cells and the larger plant.
