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.
Has a greater partial pressure in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoli so it diffuses into the?
C02:alveoli
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 is the blood pressure in capillaries?
Generally the blood pressure at arterial end of the capillaries is about 30 mm of mercury. The blood pressure at the venous end of the capillaries is about 15 mm of mercury. The fluid exit the capillaries at arterial end. Fluid enters the capillaries at venous end.
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 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...
Why is it important that intrathoracic pressure be kept lower than atmospheric pressure?
subatmospheric pressure to be specific. pulmonary capillaries need such condition to promote flitration. Filtration is one of the main processes by which fluid moves between plasma and interstitium( exchange of gases and nutrients between blood and tissues
