more fluid leaves the capillaries than returns.

The net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than the net outward pressure in arteriolar ends of capillaries because of two main factors: the hydrostatic pressure and the osmotic pressure. In venular capillary ends, the hydrostatic pressure is reduced due to the resistance of the venous system, while the osmotic pressure remains constant. In arteriolar ends, the hydrostatic pressure is higher due to the force exerted by the heart and the osmotic pressure remains the same. As a result, more fluid is filtered out of the capillaries at the arteriolar ends than is reabsorbed at the venular ends.

What causes Plasma oncotic pressure?
The capillary oncotic pressure is higher because of the plasma proteins trapped within the capillaries. The high oncotic pressure pulls the water from from the interstitium into the capillary.
Water and solutes flow form the arteriole end of the capillaries into the tissues due to what?
Hydrostatic pressure(inside capillary) is higher than osmotic pressure it re-enters the capillary on venule end because inside the hydrostatic pressure is now lessthan osmotic pressure drawing water back in
What happens if your capillaries burst?
if a capillary bursts it is no biggie. it is just like getting a paper cut. you don't bleed a lot because in capillaries it is easy for platelets to heal it.
Why is the blood pressure lower in lung capillaries than body capillaries?
Because if blood pressure in lung capillaries was as high as it is in body capillaries, the hydrostatic pressure caused by this blood pressure would force blood plasma out of the capillaries into intracellular spaces (as is done in body capillaries) or into the alveoli. This would reduce the efficiency of gas exchange.
Why is it critical to your cells to be near capillary?
Cells need to be near capillaries because capillaries carry blood which in turn brings food/fuel to the cells and removes waste products.
How can you get rid of broken capillaries with aromatherapy?
Capillaries are composed of a single layer of cells and are the sites of fluid and gas exchange. The single cell later of capillaries, although ideal for diffusion, creates problems because capillary beds are easily destroyed. High blood pressure of any impact can rupture the thin-layered capillary and bruising occurs when blood rushes into the space between tissues. White blood cells eat the nutrients from the broken capillary tissue and recycle it basically. There is no way to get rid of them once they are broken, bruising will occur and it takes time before new capillaries can replace the old, the blood will be soaked up, and the bruising disappears.Therefore the only way to deal with broken capillaries is to wait for them to disappear on their own.
How is the anatomy of capillaries and capillary beds well suited for their function?
The capillaries have the thinnest walls of any of the blood vessels. The capillary wall is made up of a single layer of endothelium lying on a delicate basement membrane. The thin capillary wall enables water and dissolved substances, including oxygen, to diffuse from the blood into the tissue spaces, where they become available for use by the cells. The capillary also allows waste from the metabolizing cell to diffuse from the tissue spaces into the capillaries for transport by the blood to the organs of excretion. The capillaries are called exchange vessels because they allow for an exchange of nutrients and waste.
The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they?
It is unique from other capillary beds in that it is supplied with and drained by arterioles, the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole, respectively.
Why does oxygen move from the aveloi into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Because of difference in partial pressure
What are tiny blood vessels in which substances are exchanged between the blood and body cell?
The capillary is the only blood vessel where things can be exchanged because it is so thin (one cell thick). Capillaries have a single cell layer of squamous epithilium.
Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?
because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules
Tiny blood vessels joining artery with vein?
the smallest blood vessel is the capillary, then the vein, and the artery. (vein and artery depends though because when they diffuse they get smaller and close to the same size) but the smallest will always be the capillary.
