Textbook Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 7CC
A person has left ventricular failure but normal right ventricular function. As a result, blood pools in the pulmonary circulation, doubling pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure. What happens to net fluid flow across the walls of the pulmonary capillaries?

- What happens to the rate of blood flow through the lungs when cardiac output goes up (as in during exercise)? Why?arrow_forwardIn atrial fibrillation, the atria do not contract correctly, and not all blood exits this chamber. The blood pools in the atria, and this can promote blood clot formation. If a blood clot forms in the left atrium, it can get pumped from the left ventricle, get caught in a capillary bed and cause a(n): pulmonary embolus 2) inferior vena cava filter 3) deep vein thrombosis 4) cerebral vascular accident (CVA)arrow_forwardI know that the pressure of the blood (hydrostatic pressure) is higher than the pressure of interstitial fluid at the arteriole end of the capillary bed. What about the partial pressure of oxygen? Is it higher in the interstitial fluid arteriole end than the blood? But then would this mean that there is less of a volume of oxygen in the arteriole end?arrow_forward
- During hyperventilation, CO2 is “blown off,” and CO2 levels in theblood decrease. What effect does this decrease have on blood pressure?Explain. What symptoms do you expect to see as a result?arrow_forwardYou are studying bulk flow in a tissue. You have measured the following: Blood pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 30mmHg Osmotic pressure at the arterial end of the capillary – 20 mmHg partial pressure of oxygen at the arterial end of the capillary – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 40mmHg partial pressure of O2 at the venous end – 42 mmHg; partial pressure of CO2 – 46mmHg Blood pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 14mmHg Osmotic pressure at the venous end of the capillary – 20 mmHg Pick all that would apply A)the 10 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid B)the 6 mm Hg pressure difference will drive blood plasma into the interstitial fluid C)the hydrostatic pressure declines from the arterial side to the venous side because oxygen is lost. D)the pH is lower on the arterial side than on the venous side. E)the osmotic pressure remains constant due to carbon dioxide compensation. F)oxygen is taken up by the…arrow_forward
