Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.15AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The example of a substance found in tissue that is not soluble in blood and the transportation of components that are not soluble in blood has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Transportation of lipids:
- Lipids are not soluble in the plasma water.
- Lipids are carried as lipoproteins in the bloodstream.
- Cholesterol esters and triglycerides do not dissolve in water.
- Lipoproteins have neutral lipid core surrounded by a shell of apoproteins, free cholesterol and phospholipids.

Transport of biomolecules to tissues takes place through capillary walls by both convection and diffusion. Consider an endothelium in which the gaps between the cells are characterized by the following dimensions: L=1 µm long, h=200 nm high, and W=10 nm in width (the last dimension is the distance between the two cells). The fluid is at 37degC and has the same properties as physiologic saline. Let the average pressure in the capillary be 45 mm Hg and let the pressure in the tissue be 0 mm Hg (ignore osmotic effects). Consider a small solute that has a diffusion coefficient of 1x10-5 cm2/s. Does this solute pass across the endothelium by diffusion or is it primarily carried by flow?
Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
The volume of a red blood cell will remain unchanged in...
1) distilled water, a isotonic solution
2) 150 mM NaCl, an isotonic solution
3) 150 mM glucose, an isotonic solution
4) 150 mM MgCl2, an isotonic solution
