Question

36 multiple choice 10 points plasma proteins contribute to the__________ pressure of the blood. osmotic central venous hydrostatic filtration

Explanation:

Plasma proteins, especially albumin, create an osmotic gradient that helps in maintaining fluid balance in the blood - tissue interface. They contribute to the osmotic pressure of the blood. Central venous pressure is related to the pressure in the vena cava near the heart. Hydrostatic pressure is due to the weight of the fluid column. Filtration pressure is related to the movement of fluid across a membrane in processes like glomerular filtration in the kidneys.

Answer:

A. osmotic
