vevsvæskebalanse
Vevsvæskebalanse refers to the equilibrium of fluid within the body's tissues, specifically the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. This delicate balance is crucial for numerous physiological processes, including nutrient and waste transport, cellular function, and maintaining tissue structure. The body tightly regulates the movement of fluid between the blood plasma, interstitial fluid, and intracellular fluid through a combination of hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure gradients.
Hydrostatic pressure, the force exerted by fluid against vessel walls, tends to push fluid out of capillaries
Disruptions to vevsvæskebalanse can lead to edema, the abnormal accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial
