2What is Capillary Exchange?Definition, capillary structure, intercellular clefts, precapillary sphincter. Color-coded boxes: substances leaving, entering, and staying in capillaries. + Exam Q
3Starling Forces (the 4 pressures)Full table of CHP, POP, IOP, IHP — value, direction, plain-English analogy. Net filtration formula with worked examples at both ends. + Exam Q
4What is Edema?Definition, pitting vs. non-pitting comparison side-by-side. Edema grading table (1+ to 4+) with clinical significance.
5Pathophysiology 1 – ↑ Hydrostatic PressureRHF, LHF, postural edema, DVT, renal/liver disease — each with mechanism + simple analogy column. + Exam Q
6Pathophysiology 2 – ↓ Oncotic PressureSources of albumin, Kwashiorkor, Cirrhosis, Nephrotic Syndrome — each with step-by-step mechanism and a "simple analogy" note. + Exam Q
7Pathophysiology 3 & 4 – Lymphatic Obstruction & ↑ PermeabilityMastectomy lymphedema, filariasis, Milroy disease, burns/allergy edema. Analogy column: blocked drain, cracked pipe, pipe never built, worm-blocked drain. + 2 Exam Qs
8Clinical Approach & TreatmentFull treatment table linking each mechanism to first-line Rx and key points. Warning box on contraindication of compression stockings. + Exam Q on furosemide
9Summary FlowchartVisual four-pathway flowchart converging on edema. Quick-recall table linking mechanism → classic cause → edema type → bedside clue
10Exam Practice (6 Questions)MCQ, short answer, clinical scenario, NFP calculation, mechanism comparison, spot diagnosis — all with model answers
11Take-Home + References5 key take-home points, full reference list

Design features

  • Color-coded sections: blue for definitions, orange for mechanisms, teal for exam boxes, green for answers, red for warnings
  • Every pathophysiology slide has a "Simple Analogy" panel so abstract physiology is grounded in everyday language
  • Net Filtration Pressure formula is worked out numerically on slide 3
  • Exam questions appear on every content slide plus a dedicated 6-question practice page at the end
