Production of serous fluid is controlled by all of the following except:
A) Lymphatic secretions
B) Hydrostatic pressure
C) Oncotic pressure
D) Capillary permeability

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphatic secretions play a role in the production and removal of serous fluid. Hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure are important factors in regulating the movement of fluid in and out of blood vessels. Capillary permeability affects the ability of fluid to cross the blood vessel walls. However, the production of serous fluid itself is not directly controlled by lymphatic secretions; rather, it is produced by cells within the serous membrane lining cavities in the body.
