What else can I help you with?
Which of the following would not move by diffusion across a capillary into the surrounding tissue?
Large proteins and cells like red blood cells would not move by diffusion across a capillary into the surrounding tissue. Diffusion is limited to small molecules and ions that can pass through the tiny gaps between endothelial cells.
Can lipid soluble substance move by diffusion across a capillary into the surrounding tissue?
sure it can
What is the explanation for the process of capillary exchange?
Capillary exchange is the process by which substances, such as oxygen and nutrients, are exchanged between the blood in capillaries and the surrounding tissues. This occurs through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. The exchange is driven by a concentration gradient and the movement of substances across the capillary wall is regulated by small pores called fenestrations and by the presence of transport proteins.
The primary mechanism for exchange of substances across the capillary wall is?
Diffusion
How is diffusion used when cells remove carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells from a higher to lower concentration across the cell membrane. Then the CO2 moves through the capillary wall across the diffusion gradient. The diffusion process is repeated at the capillary/alveolar junction.
How does oxygen moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system?
by diffusion across a capillary wall
What is falicitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where specific molecules are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires the presence of these proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane.
Which transport mechanism causes the respiratory gases to move across the alveolar pulmonary capillary membranes?
Diffusion
What is the pathway of movement for substances traveling across a capillary wall?
Capillaries have very thin walls which are semi-permeable.
Where does oxygen transfer during the transition between the respiratory and circulatory system occur?
By diffusion across a capillary wall.
What causes oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to leave the capillaries?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide get into and out of cells via diffusion. The gases diffuse across the thin capillary wall, and then diffuse across the cell membrane.
What are the three types of capillary exchange?
The three types of capillary exchange are diffusion, transcytosis, and bulk flow. Diffusion allows for the movement of small molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide across the capillary walls based on concentration gradients. Transcytosis involves the transport of larger molecules, such as proteins, through endothelial cells via vesicles. Bulk flow refers to the movement of fluids and solutes in response to pressure gradients, primarily occurring through filtration and reabsorption processes.
