solve the following question

To match the following terms with their correct answers provided, I'll create appropriate pairings based on their definitions:

  1. Plasma - This is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. It is not an option in the matches, likely due to an oversight since none of the provided definitions correspond to plasma directly.

  2. Colloidal - Typically refers to a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance. None of the definitions provided appear to speak to the nature of a colloidal state directly.

  3. Osmotic Pressure - Is referred to by "Effective osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid" (The letter 'V' may denote the matching letter or an arrow indicating its match). This is the pressure required to prevent the flow of a solvent into a solution through a semipermeable membrane.

  4. Mean blood pressure - Does not appear to match directly with any of the given definitions. Mean blood pressure is typically the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.

  5. Semilunar Valve - Matches with "Prevents backflow of blood from arteries to ventricles during ventricular diastole."

  6. Capillary Pressure (Pc) - Matches with the definition "The average pressure that determines the rate of blood flow through systemic vessels," though the question points to a match with "The hydrostatic pressure in the capillary."

  7. Edema Formation - Matches with "conditions contributing to fluid accumulation: high capillary pressure, low blood protein, lymphatic blockage, increased capillary porosity."

It's important to note that the options for mean blood pressure, plasma, and colloidal state don't have direct matches with the provided definitions, which might be due to incomplete data from the image or an oversight in the question. If the provided definitions do not seem to directly match some of the terms, it could be a nuanced context or the expectation to understand deeper physiological connections. However, with the given data, these are the most straightforward matches.
