In general it is expected that . A) osmotic pressure will remain relatively consistent throughout the capillary bed B) osmotic pressure will be lower in the arteriole end of the capillary bed compared to the venous end C) osmotic pressure will be higher in the arteriole end of the capillary bed compared to the venous end D) hydrostatic pressure will remain constant throughout the capillary bed

B. OSMOTIC PRESSURE WILL BE LOWER IN THE ARTERIOLE END OF THE CAPPILLARY BED COMPARED TO THE VENOUS END.

Explanation:

This is true for filtration to take place in the cappillary bed. Osmotic pressure is the net pressure that drives movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid back into the capillaries. Osmotic pressure increase favors reabsorption as water moves from region of higher water concentration in the interstitial fluid to the lower region of water concentration in the capillaries.

At the ends of a capillary bed, the difference in the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures provides a net filtration or reabsorption ratio. At the arteriole end of the capillary bed, hydrostatic pressure is greater than the osmotic pressure allowing movements of fluid to the interstitial fluid (filtration) while as the blood moves to the venous end, the osmotic pressure becomes greater than than hydrostatic pressure.

t = 1/400 h   ⇔ 0.0025 h ⇔ 9s ⇔ 0.15 m

any of the answers are correct.
