Use the Data Below to Calculate the Rate of Net $\mathrm { mL } / \mathrm { min }$

question 8

Short Answer

Use the data below to calculate the rate of net fluid movement (in $\mathrm { mL } / \mathrm { min }$ ) across the capillary wall.
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure $= 40 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Cap illary hydrostatic pressure $= 10 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Venous hydrostatic pressure $= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Arterial pressure $= 80 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure $= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure $= 5 \mathrm {~mm} \mathrm { Hg }$
Filtration coefficient $= 10 \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { min } / \mathrm { mm } \mathrm { Hg }$
A. 100 (filtration)
B. 200 (reabsorption)
C. 200 (filtration)
D. 300 (filtration)
E. 300 (reabsorption)

Amortized

The process of spreading the cost of an intangible asset over its useful life, or the reduction of debt through regular payments of principal and interest over a set period.

Accumulated Amortization

The total amount of amortization expense that has been applied to intangible assets over time, reducing their book value on the balance sheet.

Intangible Assets

Assets that lack physical substance but have economic value due to rights, privileges, or advantages they confer to the business, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

Amortized

The process of gradually reducing debt through regular payments over a set period, covering both the principal and interest.
