Question
Chapter 6, Problem 8RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Events during increase in blood osmolality.
Introduction:
Osmolality is the term given to total molality of a solution. It also indicates the number of dissolved particles in the solution. Solutions having higher osmolality exhibit a higher osmotic pressure and these solutions would attract water from the solutions having a lower osmolality.

- Which one of the following statements is false?a. Blood pressure in the glomerular capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the plasma within the glomerular capillaries.b. If the osmotic pressure exerted by solutes in the peritubular capillaries is greater than the blood pressure in those capillaries, then water will be reabsorbed.c.
