- Liver disease often results in ascites (increasing abdominal fluid) and other forms of systemic edema. This is due to the decrease in synthesis by the liver of which of the following? (A) fibrinogen and other clotting proteins (B) transferrin and other transport proteins (C) cholesterol and its transport proteins (D) albuminarrow_forwardA normal human contains 5 liters of blood, approximately 2% of which isresident in the systemic (i.e., non-pulmonary) capillaries at any given time.(a) Assuming that the capillaries are 8 μm in diameter, estimate the totallength of capillaries in the body (excluding the lungs).(b) If an average capillary length is 1 mm, how many capillaries are therein the body?(c) Cardiac output is 5 l/min. Assuming that this is evenly distributedthroughout a parallel network consisting of the capillaries found in (b),estimate the pressure drop across the capillary bed. Assume Newtonian,laminar flow in the capillaries with μeff of 3.5 cP. What percentage ofthe total 85mmHg systemic pressure drop is this?arrow_forwardFastyarrow_forward
