Multiple Choice
How do clinical conditions that increase vascular permeability cause edema?
A) Through altering the negative charge on the capillary basement membrane, which enables excessive fluid to accumulate in the interstitial compartment
B) By causing movement of fluid from the vascular compartment into the intracellular compartment, which leads to cell swelling
C) Through leakage of vascular fluid into the interstitial fluid, which increases interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
D) By allowing plasma proteins to leak into the interstitial fluid, which draws in excess fluid by increasing the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
