🗑
Venous end of capillary   Decreased Blood Pressure, Decreased Hydrostatic Pressure, Increased Oncotic Pressure  
🗑
Hydrostatic Pressure   Pushes fluid out of the capillaries  
🗑
Colloid Osmotic Pressure   Pulls fluid into its compartments  
🗑
Angiotensin-converting hormone   In pulmonary vessels, Converts Angentensin I into Angiotensin II, Part of the RAAS  
🗑
Hypercalcemia causes   Hyperparathyroidism, bone metastases, excess vitamin D  
🗑
Hypercalcemia clinical manifestations   Kidney stones, dysrhythmias, bradycardia, bone pain, fatigue, weakness, lethargy, anorexia, nausea, constipation  
🗑

🗑
Hypocalcemia clinical manifestations   Increased neuromuscular excitability, tingling, muscle spasms, intestinal cramping, tetany, convulsions, arrhythmias, stridor  
🗑
