A. False It is about 5500 mmHg (25 mmHg is the colloid osmotic pressure).

B. True Both have an osmolality around 290 mosmol/litre.

C. False It is similar to 5 per cent glucose which contains about the same number of par-ticles.

D. False The colloid osmotic pressure does this; the crystalloids pass capillary walls freely and exert no effective pressure gradient across the capillary wall.

E. True Intracellular and extracellular fluid have the same osmolality.
