Title: In normally circulating blood, the plasma proteins cannot leave the blood stream
Post by: nite_n_day on Jun 21, 2013
In normally circulating blood, the plasma proteins cannot leave the blood stream easily and,
thus, tend to remain in the blood. But if stasis (blood flow stoppage) occurs, the proteins will
begin to leak out into the interstitial fluid. Explain why this leads to edema (water buildup in the
tissues).
