All of the following vascular changes are observed in acute inflammation except_____________?

Correct answer: D. Decreased hydrostatic pressure

  • A. Vasodilation
  • B. Stasis of blood
  • C. Increased vascular permeability
  • D. Decreased hydrostatic pressure

Explanation

Acute inflammation produces vasodilatation, increased permeability, and slowing of blood flow with stasis; hydrostatic pressure generally rises initially because of arteriolar dilation. Thus, decreased hydrostatic pressure is the exception.
