Chapter 15, Problem 30RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The two suggestions about the pressure of oxygen control over the arterioles.
Introduction: In the given case, a physiologist performed two experiments. In one experiment, a section of arteriole was placed in a saline chamber, and the oxygen content of the saline chamber was reduced. In the second experiment, an isolated slice of the smooth muscle of arteriole was stripped away from the rest of the layers of the arteriolar wall.

Describe the pressures which affect the movement of fluids from the intravascular to the extravascular space (and vice versa) as blood flows thru the arterial side to the venous side. I'm looking for the 2 primary forces which "push out" and/or "pull in" fluid into/out of the vasculature - explain each of their roles as blood flows from the arterial side to the venous side. Be sure to state what creates each of these pressures. What mechanism is responsible for removal of excessive interstitial fluid?
Lastly, how might the following condition potentially alter normal fluid movement in/out of vasculature:
A) nephrotic syndrome B) congestive heart failure
You wanted to prepare a fish dish for your grandfather that he loves the dried salted Codfish. But you noticed that this might be causing a problem for your elder grandfather since he has hypertension, what would you do to remove the salt from the fish? (Answer with one word) What is the mechanism by which the salt gets out from the fish? (one word) * Please put a comma and space between the two answers word.
You’ve conducted tensile testing of the aorta and constituent proteins with the results show below. Estimate the modulus of elasticity for (A) collagen and (B) elastin. (C)Discuss how the properties of each extracellular protein contributes to the mechanical behavior of the aorta at high and low strain.

- Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT.
