Summary Introduction
To review:
The net effect of total pressure favoring both absorption and filtration on fluid movement across the wall of the capillary.
Introduction:
Arteries and arterioles carry the oxygenated blood and veins and venules carry the deoxygenated blood from the tissues Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, which increase the surface area. The blood is supplied via these capillaries to the tissues.

A normal saline solution (0.9 mg of sodium chloride per 100 ml of solution) is given intravenously and a total of 0.5 L of the solution was given over a 4 hour period.
What is the flow rate in units of milliliter per hour?.
What is the flow rate in units of mg ( of sodium chloride) per hour?.
During 4 hour period how much sodium chloride is delivered?
If the other three forces that determine fluid movement were unchanged, an increase in blood hydrostatic pressure would cause edema.
The vascular system delivers blood by a network of vessels, this process is regulated by the dynamics of fluid flow.
a) State at least four factors that may affect this flow
b) Describe how fluid flow changes with respect to them.

- Blood pressure is usually given as the ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). For example a typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in mm Hg (millimeters of mercury, SG = 13.6).
