KROK 1 2007 – Question 135 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology

A hypertensive glucose solution was introduced to a patient. It will intensify water movement:

  1. A. There will be no changes of water movement
  2. B. From the cells to the intercellular liquid
  3. C. From the capillaries to the intercellular liquid
  4. D. From the intercellular liquid to the capillaries
  5. E. From the intercellular liquid to the cells
Hint

Glucose crosses the capillary wall freely but enters cells only slowly, so ask across which membrane the osmotic gradient actually builds up.
