The net filtration pressure (NFP) represents the interaction of the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures, driving fluid out of the capillary.  Why does this happen?

A woman’s first pregnancy is normal but her second pregnancy results in hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN).  The second child needed a transfusion to completely replace the agglutinating blood.  The mother is most likely type ____________________ and both children are most likely _____________ for the D antigen.

The shallow depression seen on the external surface of the heart between the left and right ventricles is called the _____________________________.

Assume that one ventricle of a child’s heart has an EDV of 90ml, an ESV of 60 ml, and a cardiac output of 2.55 L/min.  What are the child’s stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction, and heart rate (HR)? SV = EDV – ESV CO = bpm x SV Ejection Fraction = SV / EDV
