A patient with liver disease is unable to synthesize plasma proteins. What happens to the colloid osmotic pressure of his blood? -increases,decreases,does not change?
How does a protein freely float in plasma?
Which of the following is true regarding plasma colloid osmotic pressure ?
1) It is less than interstitial osmotic pressure
2) It decreases by significantly in the muscle capillaries as blood flows from the arteriole end to the venous end
3) It is primarily caused by the presence of the substances in the plasma such as sodium and potassium
4) It increases in response to an increase in plasma fibrinogen concentration

What would happen if the action of the Na+–K+ pumps was reduced? A)The rate of flow of glucose into the interstitial cells would be increased. B)The direction of flow of glucose would be reversed. C)The rate of flow of glucose into the interstitial cells would be reduced. D)Nothing would differ: the movement of glucose would be the same as before the reversal.arrow_forward(45) A 72 year old man is brought to the emergency department following a myocardial infarction.
