Questions and Answers

Why is there only a tiny amount of blood pressure going to the pulmonary capillary?

  • To prevent filtration (correct)
  • To support the heart's function
  • To regulate oxygen levels
  • To increase filtration

    • What is the primary reason for minimizing blood pressure in the pulmonary capillary?

  • Enhance gas exchange efficiency
  • Avoid causing filtration (correct)
  • Prevent clotting
  • Increase blood flow rate

    • What is the major consequence of high blood pressure in the pulmonary capillary?

  • Increased fluid leakage (correct)
  • Improved gas exchange
  • Enhanced nutrient absorption
  • Reduced oxygen content

    • What would happen if there were high blood pressure in the pulmonary capillary according to the text?
