Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the initial state

The small bowel is filled with food solutes. This makes the small bowel hyperosmotic compared to the blood outside.

Step 2: Determine water movement

Since the small bowel is hyperosmotic, water will move from the area of lower solute concentration (the blood) to the area of higher solute concentration (the small bowel). So, H₂O moves into the bowel.

Step 3: Determine the effect on blood volume

As water moves from the blood into the small bowel, the blood volume decreases.

Final Answer

  1. Small bowel filled with food solutes: hyperosmotic
  2. H₂O moves: into bowel
  3. Blood volume: decreases
