Why there is oncotic pressure difference between atrtereoles and venules?

Oncotic pressure is the pressure exerted by colloid particles. As colloid particles do NOT leave the blood vessels oncotic pressure is SAME in arteriole and venules.


What is filtration pressure?

is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure


What is the normal net filtration pressure?

is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure


What's the difference between isotonicity and isoosmosis?

Tonicity is measure of the effective of osmotic pressure. Osmosis is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution.


What is the relationship between TDS and osmotic pressure?

TDS increases the osmotic pressure. From the formula, Osmotic pressure = CRT. C as the concentration in mol / L; R = gas constant; T = temperature. The higher the concentration of the solids, the higher is its osmotic pressure.


What reflects balance between the direction and amount of fluid that flows across capillary walls?

Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure.


Is there any osmotic difference between a shark's fluids and the sea water in which it swims?

There is no osmotic difference. This happens more with freshwater vertebrates than marine creatures.


Is increasing osmotic pressure within joint a function of synovial fluid?

No, increasing osmotic pressure within a joint is not a function of synovial fluid. Osmotic pressure is the force that drives the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, and it is determined by solute concentration. The synovial fluid's main function is to lubricate and nourish the joint, not to influence osmotic pressure.


How does tonicity relate to osmosis?

Tonicity refers to the measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions. The higher the difference in the tonicity between the two solutions, the more osmosis transpires.


What is the different between turgor pressure and diffusion?

The difference of turgor pressure and diffusion is that turgor pressure is an osmotic pressure exerted by the contents of a plant cell against its cell wall; while diffusion is a movement of molecules from an area higher concentration to an area lower concentration.


What is the difference between Osmotic pressure and Transpiration pull in science?

maybe you should do your own freaking research instead of relying on random strangers' "facts". how would you go referencing this website?
