Final answer:

CAPD involves continuous removal of waste products, peritoneal membrane allows toxin passage, and a quarter of a liter of dialysate is used in CAPD.


Explanation:

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) involves the continuous removal of waste products and water from the body while the patient can carry on with their daily activities. During CAPD, the peritoneal membrane functions by allowing the passage of toxins into the dialysate solution. Typically, a significant amount of dialysate, around a quarter of a liter, is maintained both inter- and intraperitoneally during CAPD.
