Water and solutes flow form the arteriole end of the capillaries into the tissues due to what?
Nshirbroun
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

Can the reabsorption of solutes influence water reabsorption in the nephron?
Yes, The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
Can reabsorbing of solutes influence the reabsorption of water from the tubule fluid?
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
When blood pressure in capillaries forces water and dissolved solutes out into the tissue fluid this is called?
filtration
What can be said about the endothelium of fenestrated capillaries?
the endothelial cells have pores (windows) to allow rapid movement of solutes and water.
Why is glomerulus a high pressure capillary bed?
The diameter of the afferent renal arteriole narrows progressively more and more into the glomerular capillaries, with the same blood flow, leading to an increase in pressure within the glomerulus. This is so that the high pressure can force solutes and water across into the Bowman's capsule for the renal tubules.
Is water in your kidneys dangerous?
The kidneys, like all tissues, are kind of supposed to be filled with water--as long as it is in the right place and has the right balance of solutes.
What are small blood vessels called?
The answer you are looking for is most likely a "capillary". "Capillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels...which connect aterioles and venules, and enable the interchange of water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues."
What water has no solutes in it?
Distilled water.
What is diffusion gradient?
a gradual change in the concentration of solutes in a solution as a function of distance through a solution. 2. the gradual difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between two regions. In biology, a gradient results from an unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. When this happens, solutes move along a concentration gradient. This kind of movement is called diffusion.
What happens to the food once enters the blood?
nutrients
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of a solutes to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
