What two parameters are responsible for creating the movement (filtration and reabsorption) of fluid across the capillary wall? The hydrostatic pressure (or blood pressure) and osmotic pressure (water pressure) are responsible for balancing and creating the movement of fluid across the capillary wall. 2.

Under normal circumstances, what components of the blood cross the capillary wall? …show more content…
She has always been neglected by her parents because they pay more attention to her brother. She ran a lot but didn’t eat anything and passed out. She also weighed herself for fun. 2. Why did Suzie pass out when she stood up? She ran a lot the day before but then didn’t eat anything for breakfast. 3. Why did Suzie’s mother place Suzie’s feet on a chair? She wanted to increase the blood flow to her head and decrease it in her feet. This is why she passed out in the first place, because there was not blood flow to her head. 4. Why did Suzie feel as if she had no energy at the doctor’s office? She has not eaten anything all morning and she had drained herself the day before. 5. Make an initial speculation about Suzie’s condition at this time. Assuming that your speculation is true, what do you think the doctor will find in the results of Suzie’s physical examination? I believe Suzie may be anorexic because she didn’t eat in the morning and she was weighing herself for fun. She also fainted and her mom didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. I think the doctor will find out she is not getting the nutrients she needs. Part III: 1. What new signs and symptoms does Suzie exhibit that would concern you if you were the doctor?

Blood is a red fluid that contains a complex mixture of cells suspended in a liquid matrix which is transported (circulated) throughout the body by the circulatory system of an organism. It circulates around the body by the heart and delivers oxygen and other important nutrients to cells of organs and tissues, while at the same time, removing waste product from our body. Blood is located in almost every part of our body, which is due to the network of blood vessels called the circulatory system. It is circulated through the body’s heart, arteries, veins and capillaries (tiny vessels that connect arteries and veins). In order for blood to carry out its functions, it needs to circulate all over our body to all living cells and tissues which it does through the support of the heart that pumps blood throughout our entire body). Thus, it is the fluid of life, a vital life force that all humans need in order to live and sustain life.
