Explain how capillary exchange of water could be affected in a person with chronic high blood pressure. How is the body compensating for these changes? What would happen if this ability to compensate was lost?
As the blood pressure increases the fluid that filters from blood to the interstitium increases. Thus a lot of fluid loss occurs and may sometimes damage the capillaries.
The compensatory mechanism activates and the kidney reduce the blood pressure. The renin is activated which converts angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I which is converted to Angiotensin II by ACE. The angiotensin II will lead to the production of Aldosterone which reduces the blood pressure.
If this mechanism fails edema will develop in the body. It can be seen as swelling. This swelling is seen more in the leg and angle region

i) Explain with a diagram how blood flow through a capillary bed is regulated. (30%) (ii) What are the main pressures driving exchange of nutrients in a capillary bed (30%), how is this affected by decreased plasma osmolality? (20%), how is this affected by decreased blood volume? (20%). physiology question
To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a person had a stroke, a sample of 147 people who had had strokes are examined. In the sample, 35% had high blood pressure. If we were to test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance that at least 31% of the people who have had strokes have had high blood pressure, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a person had a stroke, a sample of 125 people who had had strokes are examined. In the sample, 36% had high blood pressure. If we were to test the hypothesis that at least 33% of the people who have had strokes have had high blood pressure (using the 10% level of signficance) what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a person had a stroke, a sample of 149 people who had had strokes are examined. In the sample, 63% had high blood pressure. Determine the LOWER bound of the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people who had a stroke that had high blood pressure. (please express your answer AS A DECIMAL using 4 decimal places)
QUESTION 5 tim To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a person had a stroke, a sample of 128 people who had had strokes are examined. In the sample, 68% had high blood pressure. Determine the LOWER bound of the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people who had a stroke that had high blood pressure. (please express your answer AS A DECIMAL using 4 decimal places)
Under extreme circumstances, there may be a time when incredibly
high blood pressure may cause swelling in the brain. This type of
swelling may occur when no other trauma exists. It certainly
relates to the rate of capillary exchange in the brain. Do you
remember Dave and his swollen ankle? The swelling was edema. In
looking at that case, we also discussed the two main factors
involved with capillary exchange.

the name of the course is epidemiology of chronic diseases Look for a high blood pressure prevention program in your area. Give a description of this program. What is good about this program? What could be improved with this program?
Chronic kidney disease impairs the kidneys ability to contribute to blood volume changes that help to maintain normal blood pressure levels. Consider a condition that impaired the kidneys ability to produce the hormone renin from the JG cells in Bowman’s capsule, how would that alter the kidney’s contributions to maintaining blood pressure levels? Make sure to discuss specific regions of the nephron that are involved in kidney function.
