Source of Tissue/Interstitial Fluid

What is the main source of tissue/interstitial fluid in the body?

• Saliva

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• Blood plasma

• Lymphatic fluid

Which type of blood vessels are responsible for the exchange of fluid between blood and tissues?

• Veins

• Lymphatic vessels

• Arteries

• Capillaries

What is the role of lymphatic vessels in the circulation of tissue fluid?

• Lymphatic vessels regulate blood pressure

• Lymphatic vessels transport tissue fluid to the lungs

• Lymphatic vessels produce tissue fluid

• Lymphatic vessels collect excess tissue fluid and return it to the bloodstream.

Where does the interstitial space exist in the body?

• Inside blood vessels

• Within organs

• Around bones

• Between cells

How does osmotic pressure contribute to the movement of fluid between capillaries and tissues?

• Osmotic pressure pushes water out of capillaries into tissues due to solute imbalances.

• Osmotic pressure causes fluid movement by creating a vacuum effect in capillaries.

• Osmotic pressure has no effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissues.

• Osmotic pressure draws water into capillaries from tissues by balancing solute concentrations.

What is the function of hydrostatic pressure in the movement of fluid in the circulatory system?

• Hydrostatic pressure helps in the digestion of food in the circulatory system.

• Hydrostatic pressure is responsible for regulating body temperature in the circulatory system.

• Hydrostatic pressure facilitates the movement of fluid by exerting force on the blood vessel walls.

• Hydrostatic pressure causes blood clotting in the circulatory system.

Which blood vessels have the highest hydrostatic pressure?

• Veins

• Arteries

• Lymphatic vessels

• Capillaries

How does the lymphatic system help in maintaining fluid balance in the body?

• By regulating blood sugar levels

• By collecting excess fluid from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream.

• By controlling body temperature

• By producing hormones

What happens to excess tissue fluid that is not reabsorbed by capillaries?

• It evaporates into the air

• It is collected by the lymphatic system and returned to the bloodstream.

• It is stored in the bones

• It is excreted through the skin

How does the balance between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure affect the movement of fluid in the body?

• The balance between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure determines the movement of fluid in the body.

• Osmotic pressure overrides hydrostatic pressure in fluid movement.

• Hydrostatic pressure alone dictates fluid movement in the body.

• The balance between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure has no impact on fluid movement.
