B) the pressure of oxygen available to tissues is decreased
C) intravenous pressure is increased

Answer 1

Mechanisms of enhanced transcapillary filtration in response to elevations in arterial or venous pressure. Elevations in arterial (Pa) or venous (Pv) pressure increase capillary pressure, which favors enhanced capillary filtration (Jv).
