Tissue Fluid Formation

Which of these is not a component of the blood?

• Carbon dioxide

• Plasma

• Erythrocytes

• Platelets

The substance that surrounds most cells is called:

• Intracellular fluid

• Plasma

• Lymph

• Tissue Fluid

Tissue fluid supplies respiring cells with:

• Oxygen & Glucose

• Carbon Dioxide & Glucose

• Lactic Acid & Oxygen

• Water & Carbon dioxide

In which direction does blood flow through a capillary bed?

• Vein end -> Arteriole end

• Venule end -> Arteriole end

• Arteriole end -> Venule end

• Artery end -> Venule end

Which pressure is highest at the arteriole end of the capillary bed?

• Oncotic pressure

• Oncostatic pressure

• Hydrostatic pressure

• Water potential

"The pressure that a fluid exerts when pushing against the sides of a vessel" is a definition of which key term:

• Oncotic pressure

• Oncostatic pressure

• Hydrostatic pressure

• Water potential

"This is the pressure of solutes (eg plasma proteins) drawing water in by osmosis" is a definition of which key term:

• Oncotic pressure

• Oncostatic pressure

• Hydrostatic pressure

• Water potential

At the arteriole end of the capillary, how does the hydrostatic pressure of the blood compare to the hydrostatic pressure of the tissue fluid:

• It is higher

• It is lower

• It is the same

At the venule end of the capillary, how does the hydrostatic pressure of the blood compare to the hydrostatic pressure of the tissue fluid:

• It is higher

• It is lower

• It is the same

How does the hydrostatic pressure of the blood at the arteriole end of the capillary compare to the hydrostatic pressure of the blood at the venule end of the capillary?

• It is higher

• It is lower

• It is the same
