1.) First you encounter Mrs. Taylor in the medical ward awaiting a liver transplant. What is the connection between liver failure and her edema(hint:think about the livers role in producing plasma proteins)

3,) Then you are called to emergency, where Mr. Herrera is in anaphylactic shock. In anaphylactic shock, the capillaries became leaky, allowing plasma proteins that are normally kept inside the blood vessels to escape into the interstitaial fluid. Which of the pressures driving bluk flow is altered in this case and in what direction is the change.

4.) Finally you goto the oncology ward where Mrs. O'Leary is recovering from surgery for advanced breast cancer that had infiltrated her right breast and axillary lymph nodes. All of her axillary lymph nodes  were  removed and unfortunately, this severed most of the lymphatic vessels draining her right arm. You notice that her right arm is quite . Why? Mrs. O'Leary is given a compression sleeve to wear on this arm to help relieve the edema. Which of the pressures driving bulk flow at the capillaries will be altered by the compression sleeve?
