Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) decreases in starving children because starvation increases blood pressure which, in turn, decreases BCOP. starvation increases the permeability of capillaries causing a decrease in BCOP. malnourished children do not exercise, which results in a decrease in BCOP. starvation prevents the liver from producing enough protein to maintain BCOP.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (4).

Explanation:

Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) may be defined as the pressure induced by the proteins present in the blood plasma vessel. This pressure in important for the glomerular filtration.

The starvation in children result in the decrease in the blood colloid osmotic pressure. This is the because the starvatuion prevents the liver for the formation of the albumin protein. The decrease in the albumin results in the decrease in BCOP.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
