What 2 parameters are responsible for creating the movement filtration and reabsorption of fluid across the capillary wall?
membranes and osmosis pressures
What is the Capillary fluid shift mechanism?
exchange of fluid that occurs across the capillary membrane between the blood and the interstitial fluid. This fluid movement is controlled by the capillary blood pressure, the interstitial fluid pressure and the colloid osmotic pressure of the plasma. Low blood pressure results in fluid moving from the interstitial space into the circulation helping to restore blood volume and blood pressure.
When the osmotic pressure in a capillary exceeds the blood pressure in the capillary what is the net movement of fluid?
water and waste will move in capillary . water and waste will move in capillary .
What is capillary reabsorption?
fluid entering the capillary
What is exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid compartments that takes place across the capillary membrane?
gas exchange
When the blood pressure in a capillary exceeds the osmotic pressure in the capillary what is the net movement of fluid?
The movement should be OUTWARD toward the interstitial fluid. This is because the blood pressure is greater than the osmotic pressure (or more correctly the onconic/colloid pressure, since the membrane is actually quite permeable to ions but is not permeable to plasma proteins), and thus fluid (water and ions, along with other small molecules) can flow OUT of the capillary bed.
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 are the function of capillary?
the movement of a liquid along the surface of a solid caused by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid
What reflects balance between the direction and amount of fluid that flows across capillary walls?
Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure.
Which forces act to move fluid back into the capillary reabsorption?
Osmotic pressure is what draws fluid back into the capillary from the tissues.
Osmotic pressure is created by the presence in a fluid of small difusible moleules that easily move through the capillary membrane?
Osmotic pressure is the force exerted by the movement of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement equalizes the concentration on both sides of the membrane. The osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the concentration of solute particles in the fluid.
From what does capillary cell wall receives blood?
The capillary cell wall receives blood from the interstitial fluid.
