Answer:

159.01 mmHg

Explanation:

position of Heart = 2m  below the top of the head  given that the neck is fully extended

<u>Determine the minimum diastolic pressure </u>

Minimum diastolic Pressure = 1060 kg/m^3 * 10 m/s^2 * 2m

                                               = 21200 kg/m^2

convert the value to Pa

21200 kg/m^2 = 21200 Pa

( 1 pa = 0.00750062 mmHg )

Therefore : minimum diastolic pressure = 21200 * 0.00750062 = 159.01 mmHg

Edema occurs when blood pressure exceeds the counteracting force of the vascullar walls in the bloodstream, so fluid remains in the spaces surrounding cells and body tissue swells.

Explanation:

The intravascular hydrostatic pressure increases due to an increase in fluids, therefore the vessel walls begin to perceive this increase in pressure in their walls, generating fluid extravasion to areas of lower pressure.
