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


What is it called when plasma moves out of the capillaries and into the spaces between tissue cells?

chyme


Why does the accumulation of protein in the tissue spaces cause edema?

The accumulation of protein in tissue spaces can lead to edema because proteins help to maintain the balance of fluid in the body. When there is an excess of protein in the tissue spaces, it can increase the osmotic pressure, pulling more fluid into the tissues and causing swelling. Additionally, increased protein levels can impair the function of the lymphatic system, which normally helps to drain excess fluid from the tissues.


What happens to you without protein?

protein is responsible for building and repairing body tissue so if you did not have any protein you body tissue would die and not repair.


What plasma protein that helps maintain blood volume by pulling tissue fluid into capillaries is?

Albumin


Which tissue has a fluid matrix with no protein fibers?

Blood is the tissue that has a fluid matrix with no protein fibers. It is composed of plasma, which is a liquid extracellular matrix that contains water, ions, proteins, and other substances.


What types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?

the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.


What is the difference between plasma and tissue fluid?

Plasma is the liquid component of blood that contains proteins and cells, while tissue fluid is the liquid that surrounds cells and tissues in the body. Plasma is found within blood vessels, while tissue fluid is found outside of blood vessels in the interstitial spaces. Plasma is involved in transporting nutrients, waste, and other substances throughout the body, while tissue fluid provides a medium for cells to exchange nutrients and waste with blood.


What tissue group does the tissue that contains erythrocytes leukocytes and plasma belong to?

The tissue that contains erythrocytes, leukocytes, and plasma belongs to the connective tissue group. This specific tissue is known as blood tissue or vascular tissue.


What is the difference between cancellous and compact tissue?

Cancellous tissue has spaces inside it, like a honeycomb. Compact tissue is solid and dense with no visible spaces.


What is matrix as it pertains to connective tissue?

In biology, matrix refers to the tissue in animal or plant cells, where specialized structures are embedded. It is part of the mitochondrion where the oxidation of organic molecules occurs.


What is unique about the matrix of blood tissue?

Plasma
