Which end of the blood capillary has the high hydrostatic pressure?
arterial end
How do you detect arterial puncture and if it happens what should you do?
I assume the 'puncture' is accidental. An arterial puncture is characterized by bright red blood (as opposed to darker venous blood). Arterial cuts bleed fast and forceful, often in time with the heartbeat. If that happens, get thee to an emergency room-quick!
Why is blood pressure higher at the arterial end of the capillary than at the venus end?
becayse
Why hydrostatic pressure is high at arterial end of blood capillary?
heart
Why do substances tend to leave the bloodstream at the arterial end of the capillary?

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 At the arteriole end of the capillary more fluid leaves the capillary than enters as a result of differences in what?
The reason fluid leaves at the arterial end of the capillary bed and returns to the venous end of the capillary bed is the difference in hydrostatic pressure. This means the pressure against the inside of the vessel is greater that the pressure on the outside of the vessel on the arterial end and vice-versa on the venous end. Also, loss of water at the arterial end very slightly raises the oncotic pressure on the venous end, although to what degree this adds to the return of fluid to the vasculature is unknown.
What happens When the level of arterial carbon dioxide rises above normal?
respirations increase in rate and depth.
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
In which type of bleeding is blood less likely to clot?
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
What is an arterial PO?
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
What does arterial mean as in arterial o2 saturations?
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
