25. Calculate the correct Net Filtration Pressure in mmHg if the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is 40, the capsular hydrostatic pressure is 5, and the blood colloid osmotic pressure is 10?



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation: To calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP), you subtract the opposing forces from the driving force. The formula is:NFP=Glomerular hydrostatic pressure−Capsular hydrostatic pressure−Blood colloid osmotic pressureNFP=Glomerular hydrostatic pressure−Capsular hydrostatic pressure−Blood colloid osmotic pressureGiven:Glomerular hydrostatic pressure = 40 mmHgCapsular hydrostatic pressure = 5 mmHgBlood colloid osmotic pressure = 10 mmHgSubstitute the given values into the formula:NFP=40 mmHg−5 mmHg−10 mmHgNFP=40mmHg−5mmHg−10mmHgNFP=25 mmHgNFP=25mmHgSo, the correct net filtration pressure is 25 mmHg.
