Solutions that have the same osmotic pressure are called .?
Solutions having the same osmotic pressures are called isotonic solutions
IS The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called diffusion?
No, diffusion deals with concentrations not pressures.
What causes excess fluid in the interstitial compartment?
There is hydrostatic pressure within the capillary pushing the fluid out because fluid will always flow from high pressure to low pressure. At the same time there is something called blood colloid osmotic pressure which is the formed elements and larger plasma components such as proteins drawing fluid back into the capillary lumen by osmosis. The end result is that nearly just as much fluid that is filtered out at one end is reabsorbed by the time it reaches the other end. This is known as Starlings Law of the capillaries.What little excess isn't reabsorbed by the capillary will be picked up and returned to the cardiovascular system through the lymphatic system.
What is it called when cells burst because of osmotic pressure?
Cytolysis or Osmotic-lysis
How does water get to the leaves in the top trees against the force of gravityname the property responsible for this and explain how it works?
Actually is by the help of the physical principle and property called "Turgor pressure.
What is a skeleton that is made out of water called?
a hydrostatic skeleton
The maintenance of hydrostatic equilibrium of the Earth's crust is called?
isostasy
The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing is called .?
hydrostatic
What does hydrostatic weighing mean?
Hydrostatic weighing, also called underwater weighing, involves being weighed underwater.requires one to be completely submerged in water for a few seconds. ref. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hydrostatic-weighing.htm
Special capillary tufts in kidneys are called?
it is the glomerulus....
What is a hydrostatic how can you measure air pressure with a hydrostatic?
The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation: P = rho * g * d, where P is the pressure, rho is the density of the liquid, g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the depth (or height) of the liquid.
What causes the accumulation of fluids in tissue?
When our capillaries exchange fluids with the tissues in our body, a balance of hydrostatic pressure (fluid leaving vessels) and osmotic pressure occurs (fluid entering vessels).So as the blood flows into the capillary, the hydrostatic pressure is usually strong and so fluid and all dissolved materials leaves the capillaries into the tissues of our body, leaving big stuff like protein still in the capillaries. Now once, the blood finishes it's "tour" of the tissue and reaches the end of capillary bed, the osmotic pressure is much stronger and so fluid flows back into the capillaries, which is high in solute (like proteins) but low in fluids.However, sometimes, say by a lack of proteins within the blood, this latter reabsorption is unable to occur, leading to an accumulation of fluid in that particular tissue. This swelling is called "edema".So now the lymphatic system comes into play, absorbing all this pooled up blood and properly redistributing it throughout the body, among other things such as doing a "security check" on the blood and fighting any dangerous foreign materials. The blood that enters this lymphatic system is called lymph, which eventually becomes mixed up with the rest of our blood at the subclavian vein..
