Sheila has been exercising at peak performance for about 60 minutes. She did not hydrate as effectively as she should have and a
s a result, her urine is deep yellow and low in volume. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism affecting this? a. net filtration pressure.
b. capsular colloid osmotic pressure.
c. glomerular hydrostatic pressure.
d. blood colloid osmotic pressure.
Blood colloid osmotic pressure may be defined as the pressure that is excreted by the plasma protein especially albumin in the blood. This pressure plays an important role in the filtration process.
The level of low blood colloid osmotic pressure results in the low water level. The urine becomes deep yellow and volume is urine is also low in case of this blood colloid osmotic pressure. Sheila shows all these symptoms so her body's mechanism is affected by the blood colloid osmotic pressure.
