← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome occurs when increased interstitial fluid pressure compromises lymphatic system drainage following a bee sting?
A)Reduced cellular nutrient delivery
B)Localized tissue edema formation✓
C)Enhanced immune cell migration
D)Decreased inflammatory mediator concentration
💡 Explanation
Localized tissue edema forms because elevated interstitial fluid pressure overwhelms the lymphatic system's capacity to drain excess fluid, leading to fluid accumulation in the tissue spaces. Therefore, edema results, rather than reduced nutrient delivery or decreased inflammation, which would involve different mechanisms.
