Use the Data Below to Calculate the Filtration Coefficient for the Capillary

Question 7

Short Answer

Use the data below to calculate the filtration coefficient for the capillary bed (in mL/min/mmHg). Plasma colloid osmotic pressure =30 mmHg= 30 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Capillary hydrostatic pressure =40 mmHg= 40 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Filtration rate =150 mL/min= 150 \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { min }
Venous hydrostatic pressure =10 mmHg= 10 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
