The following experiment is designed to study the role of several hormones in the regulation of metamorphosis in frogs.

Group #	Treatment	Days to Metamorphosis
1	Saline	30
2	Prolactin	> 100
3	TSH	15
4	Thyroxine	10
5	Corticosterone	30
6	Thyroxine + Corticosterone	5
7	Prolactin + TSH	30
8	Thyroid gland removed	> 100

 

If the thyroid gland were removed from the tadpoles in Group 4, metamorphosis would

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures and filtration rate across a muscle capillary wall:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc) = 25 mm Hg

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (Πp) = 25 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure (ΠI) = 10 mm Hg

Interstitial hydrostatic pressure (PI) = −5 mm Hg

Capillary filtration rate = 150 ml/min

What is the capillary filtration coefficient?

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures within a microcirculatory bed:

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Capillary hydrostatic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Venous hydrostatic pressure = 5 mm Hg

Arterial pressure = 80 mm Hg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure = −5 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure = 10 mm Hg

Capillary filtration coefficient = 10 ml/min/mm Hg

What is the rate of net fluid movement across the capillary wall?
