What else can I help you with?
Has a greater partial pressure in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoli so it diffuses into the?
C02:alveoli
What would happen to the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery if more blood is drived to the lungs during exercise?
The pressure in the pulmonary artery increases during exercise if the cardiac output increases.
The formation of lymph increases as a result of?
increased osmotic pressure in blood capillaries.
Allincrease the partial pressure of oxygen in pulmonary capillaries except increase A.partial pressure of oxygen in alveoliB.pulmonary capillary blood flowC.respiratory membrane surface areaD.altitude?
altitude
How mitral stenosis complicated by pulmonary fibrosis?
Because pulmonary fibrosis causes hypoxia which further aggravates pulmonary edema & hence pulmonary hypertension which further increases the back pressure thus ultimately leading to more complicated mitral stenosis.
What produces great amounts of pulmonary capillaries than in systemic capillaries?
The lungs have a greater density of pulmonary capillaries compared to systemic capillaries due to the need for efficient gas exchange. The pulmonary capillary network surrounds the alveoli, allowing for optimal diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood. This high density facilitates the rapid exchange of gases necessary for maintaining proper oxygen levels in the bloodstream while removing carbon dioxide. Additionally, the lower pressure in the pulmonary circulation allows for a larger surface area for gas exchange without risking damage to the delicate alveolar structures.
Why is the blood pressure lower in lung capillaries than body capillaries?
Because if blood pressure in lung capillaries was as high as it is in body capillaries, the hydrostatic pressure caused by this blood pressure would force blood plasma out of the capillaries into intracellular spaces (as is done in body capillaries) or into the alveoli. This would reduce the efficiency of gas exchange.
Why is there tiny veins in air sacs?
The thin walls of the blood vessels are capillaries around the alveolar sacs that permit diffusion of gases in every single red blood cell with oxygen inhaled ... they are thinner to improve the pressure gradient to allow more O2 in the capillaries, because the pulmonary capillaries have the lowest blood pressure in the body (normally)
Will an increase in capillary pressure shift fluid into the capillaries?
An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries
What happened to the glomerular pressure as the afferent radius is increased?
As the afferent radius increases, glomerular pressure increases as well. This is due to the increased volume of blood flowing into the glomerulus, resulting in a higher pressure exerted on the glomerular capillaries.
What does an elevated pulmonary wedge pressure indicate?
an elevated pulmonary wedge pressure indicate that the pressure in the left atrium is evevated .
Do you expect the pressure to be greater in the capillaries or the vein?
i would say capillaries...
