What is capillary exchange?
Capillary exchange play an important role in homeostasis, it involve the processes of that moves materials across typical capillary wall like diffusion, filtration and reabsorption.
What is capillary reabsorption?
fluid entering the capillary
Which forces act to move fluid back into the capillary reabsorption?
Osmotic pressure is what draws fluid back into the capillary from the tissues.
What end of the capillary does filtration occur?
Arteriole
What is the smallest filtration screen?
capillary network
The most important force driving reabsorption at the venous end of a capillary is?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
Its pores prevent filtration of blood cells?
Capillary endothelium
What is filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
Which force favors blood filtration?
Capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
What are the two capillary beds that are in series in the excretory system of humans?
The first capillary bed in the series is the glomerular capillary, where filtration occurs. The efferent arteriole on the distal end of the glomerular capillary. Objects it to the next capillary bed in the series: the peritubular capillary. This is where secretion and reabsorbtion take place. This type of system is an example of an arterial portal system.
What is the name of the blood vessels that carry arterial blood into the capillary bed where filtration will occur?
loop of Henley
