Trying to make sure I'm answering these questions correctly. I'mconfused on question d. I can explain why in terms of concentrationgradient and the fact it's in a hypotonice solution which wouldcause water to go into the blood vessel, but don't know how toanswer it in terms of hydrostatic pressure.
6. Imagine blood in a vessel that has an osmolarity of 300 mEq(a measure of the concentration of particles). Now, imagine thatthe IF around the vessel has an osmolarity of 100 mEq.
a. Where are there more particles: inside or outside the vessel?___________inside__________
b. Will water enter or leave the vessel because of itsconcentration gradient? _______enter___.
c. Since particles are always in motion, they bang against thewalls of the blood vessel. The pressure resulting from that bangingof particles against a barrier is called hydrostaticpressure. Is the hydrostatic pressure higher inside oroutside the vessel? _______inside__________
Explain your reasoning. Because there are more particles insidethe vessel there are more collisions, which means the hydrostaticpressure is higher inside.
d. In terms of hydrostatic pressure and ignoring theconcentration gradient, is fluid drawn into or out of the vessel?_____________________________ Explain your reasoning.
