Question

fill in the blanks with the terms provided. not all terms will be used. 1. blood is considered a colloid because it contains (click to select) in the plasma. most of these are produced by the (click to select). collectively, these substances exert (click to select) pressure and prevent the loss of (click to select) from the blood as it moves through the capillaries. the force responsible for moving fluids (click to select) is called colloid osmotic pressure. this force is responsible for moving fluids (click to select) and preventing excess fluid loss between blood capillaries and the interstitial fluid. if plasma protein levels decrease, hydrostatic pressure will (click to select). options: hydrostatic, increase, kidneys, out of the blood, proteins, liver, osmotic, fluid, into the blood, decrease

Explanation:

Blood is a colloid due to proteins in plasma. Most plasma - proteins are made by the liver. They help maintain osmotic pressure to prevent fluid loss from blood. Hydrostatic pressure moves fluids between blood and interstitial fluid. When plasma - protein levels decrease, colloid osmotic pressure decreases.

Answer:

1. proteins, liver, fluid, into the blood, decrease
