High blood pressure increases the hydrostatic pressure within capillaries, forcing more fluid out and reducing reabsorption, which leads to an accumulation of tissue fluid.
Hoge bloeddruk leidt tot een ophoping van weefselvocht. Leg uit hoe (3 punten)
| Front | High blood pressure leads to an accumulation of tissue fluid. Explain how ( 3 marks) |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. High blood pressure = high hydrostatic pressure; 2. Increases outward pressure from (arterial) end of capillary/reduces inward pressure at (venule) end of capillary; 3. (So) more tissue fluid formed /less tissue fluid is reabsorbed; |
