Check for edema: how? Explain:
Homework Answers
For pitting oedema we can check by grading it on the following
scale:
1+ Mild pitting is marked by slight indentation, no perceptible
swelling in the legs
2+ Moderate pitting, indentation is there but it subsides
rapidly
3+ Deep pitting, the indentation remains for a short period of
time, the leg has swollen looks.
4+ Very deep pitting, indentation lasts a long time, the leg is v
swollen too much.
Non-pitting edema is much easier to diagnose as it is caused by three very specific conditions known are lymphedema, myxedema, and lipedema.
Apart from this urine diagnostic tests detect edema.

2, High altitude pulmonary edema (and high altitude cerebral
edema) are the major causes of death from altitude sickness,
triggered by hypoxic conditions.
a. Recall that alveolar ventilation and blood flow to pulmonary
capillaries are matched to maximize diffusion of oxygen into the
blood. when climbers eceed about 2500m of altitude they experience
significantly low levels of atmospheric oxygen. How does this
affect the state of contraction of their pulmonary arterioles?
b. How would hypoxix conditions affect pressure in the...
