Explanation / Answer
1). a. Increased osmotic pressure, increased hydrostatic pressure
According to the concentration of the solute, the water move through the membrane (osmosis), this ability of osmosis to draw water to build up certain pressure is called osmotic pressure. The osmotic pressure increases with increase in solute concentration. The hydrostatic pressure also increases as the volume increases.
2). c. Increased volume in pulmonary vessels, increased blood hydrostatic pressure
Left-sided heart failure results in quick failure of heat to supply the oxygenated blood to the body organs. As a consequence, blood will pool up in the lungs (left lung) and the volume and hydrostatic pressure increase, causing difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, which are the common symptoms of left-sided heart failure. There are many aetiological factors that contribute to the left-sided heart failure that include defects in heart functioning, altered neurohumoral and hormonal responses, etc. one of the causes of left-sided heart failure include mitral valve defect.
The oxygenated blood is pumped to the body from the left side of the heart, so, the left side AV valve failure impairs the oxygen supply to the cells. The symptoms include dyspnea, bluish discoloration of the skin, etc.
