Listed Below Are the Hydrostatic and Oncotic Pressures Across a Muscle

Question 1

Short Answer

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures across a muscle capillary wall.
Venous hydrostatic pressure =5 mmHg= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Arterial pressure =100 mmHg= 100 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Capillary hydrostatic pressure =35 mmHg= 35 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure =25 mmHg= 25 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure =10 mmHg= 10 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure =5 mmHg= - 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }
What is the net filtration pressure (in mmHg\mathrm { mm } \mathrm { Hg } ) for fluid movement across the capillary wall?
A. 0
B. 5
C. 10
D. 15
E. 25
