What else can I help you with?
What is The process by which dissolved gases are exchanged between the cells and interstitial fluids is?
Internal Respiration."Internal respiration is the diffusion of gases between blood and interstitial fluid across the endothelial cells of capillary walls."Says my Anatomy Book.
What is the pathway of movement for substances traveling across a capillary wall?
Capillaries have very thin walls which are semi-permeable.
Why does the walls of the capillaries and the alveoli have to be thin?
If their walls are too thick, substances like oxygen and nutrients and waste cannot pass across the cells into or out of the body.
What is the structure that transport substances in a cell?
VesiclesCell walls are the small structure. This is what transports the substances.
Do all fluids exert pressure?
Yes, all fluids exert pressure. Pressure is a fundamental property of fluids and is caused by the molecules in a fluid colliding with the walls of the container or object they are in contact with.
Blood vessels whose walls are only one celled thick?
Capillaries are blood vessels whose walls are only one cell thick. They are responsible for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. This thin structure allows for efficient diffusion of substances across the capillary walls.
What are the soluble food substances in the gut?
Soluble food substances in the gut primarily include simple sugars (like glucose and fructose), amino acids from protein digestion, and certain soluble fibers. These components are absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. Additionally, vitamins and some minerals can also be dissolved and absorbed in the gut. The solubility of these substances facilitates their transport and utilization by the body.
What substances inside of cell walls make them tough?
The primary substances responsible for making cell walls tough are cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. These substances provide structural support and rigidity to the cell wall, helping to maintain the shape and integrity of the cell.
What is the function of the small intestien?
It is to clear the unwanted substances to the large intestine and the wanted substances will be absorbed by the walls of the small intestine by the blood.
Process whereby some substances pass through the walls of a glomerulus?
Filtration
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
The only blood vessels whose walls permit exchange between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluids are the?
Capillaries
