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>
The first, second, and fourth statements are correct.
The answers to this question is C
<span>The different adrenal hormones show selectivity for different types of adrenergic receptors. This may be because the chemical structures of the adrenal hormones are such that binding is biochemically easier for the hormones at the receptors to which they show a selective affinity.</span>
