In case anybody reads this. Yes! Scar tissue can affect how quickly your blood flows out your arm. Once a person develops scar tissue, we (phlebotomists) have to push the needle past the scar tissue and into the vein. In most individuals (not all), once the scar tissue gets progressively worse, the needle will not be able to get perfect access to the vein resulting in slower blood flow. Usually when the needle semi-blocked by scar tissue, it results in slower return speed, but it can affect just the draw cycle or both the draw and return cycles. If you are constantly having poor blood flow, regardless of how many different phlebotomists poke you, then your scar tissue has slowed you down. OR you do less arm strength training (picking up boxes/kids) and you have lost some of the pressure your veins used to have. If your blood flow varies based on who sticks you, then have the ones with the best blood flow results stick you

Starvation causes the plasma protein levels in the blood plasme to fall how would that affect the formation of tissue fluid in the tissue spaces?

Starvation causes the plasma protein levels to decrease, and when there is less plasma protein in the blood, you get lower Po (Osmotic Pressure). Lower osmotic pressure means less pull (of tissue fluid) so this causes generalized edema.so basically, less plasma proteins -> decreased Po -> less pull -> reduced venous clearance --> fluid build up in tissue

Where does the plasma come from?

If you are talking about human blood plasma, then that plasma is produced by myloid tissue, which is itself found in the red bone marrow. Myloid tissue produces red blood cells (called erythrocytes), and the plasma, which is the fluid that the blood cells are transported around the circulatory system in.
