Study Notes

Exudation

A fluid rich in proteins and cells escapes from the vascular system into interstitial tissues or body cavities.
This escape is caused by an increase in vascular permeability.
Exudate has a specific gravity of 1.020 or more.

Pus

Exudate that is rich in leukocytes and parenchymal cell debris in tissues.

Transudation

An ultrafiltration of blood plasma due to increased hydrostatic pressure in vessels.
This process does not involve an increase in permeability.
The fluid in transudation has very little protein, mostly albumin.

Description

This quiz explores the concepts of exudation and transudation in detail. Learn about the processes that cause fluid to escape from the vascular system and the characteristics of exudates versus transudates. Test your knowledge of these important physiological mechanisms.
