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:
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
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>
Sorghum and millet are the grains that thrive well in arid environments. Sorghum is a close relative of the smaller millet, with the latter measuring only a third in size to sorghum. It is important to know that sorghum is sometimes called great millet.
Every 192 -gram cup of cooked whole sorghum or millet contains 22 grams compared to wheat (16 grams), brown rice (15 grams), and maize (16 grams).

The type of digestion that involves the actual breaking apart and chewing of food is called MECHANICAL DIGESTION. Mechanical digestion increases the surface areas of the food which makes the food easier to digest. Examples of mechanical digestion are mastication and peristalsis.
