Question
what happens when the balance between hydrostatic and osmotic pressures is disrupted?
decrease in heart rate
increase in body temperature
increase in urine production
fluid accumulation in the tissues which leads to health problems
decrease in blood pressure
Hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid out of capillaries, while osmotic pressure pulls fluid back in. When their balance is disrupted, fluid may not properly return to capillaries. This can lead to fluid accumulation in tissues (edema), which is a health problem. Heart rate, body temperature, urine production, and blood pressure are not directly and specifically caused by this pressure - balance disruption in the context of fluid movement at the capillary - tissue level.
