Do horses have lungs?
No. Invertebrates, some amphibians, and most fish do not have lungs.
What is capillary shunt?
A capillary shunt is also called right to left shunt. In a normal lung the alveoli diffuse oxygen to the capillary through a very thin membrane. In a "sick lung" such as one with pnuemonia, COPD and emphysema, the alveoli are filled with thick fluid and exudate. This thickens the membrane which makes it almost impossible for gas exchange to happens. In essence, blood then flows from the venous system to the arterial system without picking up any oxygen. The blood is shunted from venous to arterial system, bypassing the diffusion (oxygenation process) process.
What is the most common external type of bleeding?
Capillary
Which is thicker an artery or a capillary?
a capillary
What is the main unit of oxygen exchange in the human lung?
the capillary's, they are based on the alveoli and they pass oxygen from the alveoli sacks through to the blood stream- ready to go to the heart and be pumped around the body
What is capillary reabsorption?
fluid entering the capillary
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 brisk capillary refill?
Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.
What is capillary inversion?
Capillary inversion refers to the abnormal condition of the capillary whereby it has been turned inside out or inward.
What is the of Alveolus?
The alveolus is a air sac that holds the oxygen. It squashes the oxygen molecules so they diffuse from the alveolus into the capillary. From there, they attach themselves to deoxygenated Red Blood Cells. The oxygen in the blood plasma are also squashed and are diffused. They go from the capillary to the alveoli to get breathed out. The alveoli transfers the oxygen to the lung capillaries and oxygenates the blood, then it is breathed out as Carbon Dioxide.
What is a split capillary?
split capillary's are little vains in your skin
What is Capillary Technologies's population?
The population of Capillary Technologies is 2,011.
