**Edema** would likely occur when:- (Selected) Blood hydrostatic pressure at the capillary decreases- Hemorrhage occurs- Blood volume decreases- The concentration of protein in the blood increases- None of the choices would cause edemaNote: When explaining this on an educational website, it is important to delve into the mechanisms of edema. Typically, edema occurs due to an imbalance in the forces that regulate the movement of fluids between the vascular system and surrounding tissues. A decrease in blood hydrostatic pressure at the capillary can affect fluid exchange, but it's important to examine this concept further for accuracy.

The heart's role in any organism is to keep blood flowing continuously throughout the body. Blood…

An increase in which of the following will produce an increase in the mean arterial pressure? All the above O Heart contractility O Total peripheral resistance O Venous return
Why do interstitial fluids build up in the capillary beds of tissues? O the venous capillaries absorb more fluids than can be delivered by arterial capillaries O more fluid is usually released by arterial capillaries than is absorbed by venous capillaries O interstitial spaces lack dissolved proteins or other types of dissolved electrolytes O tissue cells within the capillary beds tend to expel fluids into nearby open spaces Next

Two pipes of equal diameter , but different lengths, are transporting blood. The shorter pipe is 10 cm long and experiences a pressure difference from one end to the other end of 30 mm Hg. The second pipe is 50 cm long. The pressure difference needed to maintain the same flow rate in the longer pipe as the shorter pipe is mm Hg.
