Textbook Question
Chapter 49, Problem 2S
John’s doctor is concerned that John’s kidneys may not be functioning properly due to a circulatory condition. The doctor wants to determine if the blood volume flowing through the kidneys (called renal blood flow rate) is within normal range. Calculate what would be a “normal” renal blood flow rate based on the following information:
John weighs 90 kg. Assume a normal total blood volume is 80 mL/kg of body weight, and a normal heart pumps the total blood volume through the heart once per minute (cardiac output). Also assume that the normal renal blood flow rate is 21% of cardiac output.

Given the following values, calculate the fluid movement between capillaries and tissues:
hydrostatic pressure of the capillary = 25 mm Hg
hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid = 5 mm Hg
colloid osmotic pressure of the capillary = 15 mm Hg
colloid osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid = 5 mm Hg
Group of answer choices
30 mm Hg into the capillary
30 mm Hg out of the capillary
10 mm Hg into the capillary
10 mm Hg out of the capillary
Hydrostatic pressure inside the capillary = 34 mmHgColloid osmotic pressure of the blood plasma = 27 mmHgHydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid = 2 mmHgColloid osmotic pressure in the interstitial fluid = 4 mmHgWhat is the total pressure favoring filtration?What is the total pressure favoring absorption?What is the net effect of these forces on fluid movement across the wall of the capillary?
One of the most common challenges that outdoor adventurers face is dehydration. Sweating in particular can result in the loss of both water and essential solutes such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Briefly describe the role of each of these ions in cardiovascular function (in nodal cells and in cardiocytes).
