The most important force driving reabsorption at the venous end of a capillary is?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
What aids the passage of water into the blood on the venous side of the capillary?
osmotic pressure
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
Why is capillary blood glucose value higher than venous blood glucose?
Because the glucose in capillary blood is not fully delivered to the cells yet. Once the blood leaves the capillary and enters the vein, the glucose has then been delivered to the cells and the blood is considered used.
What is the blood pressure of a capillary bed?
Pressure at capillary bed varies from 32mmHg at the arteriolar end to about 10mmHg at venous end, with an average of 17mmHg
What two types of blood specimens are used for most hematological tests?
Capillary blood samples and venous blood samples are both used for hematological tests.
What is the functional nature of a portal system and how does it differ from normal venous return flow?
In a portal system, blood flows from a capillary bed through veins to another capillary bed. It differs from normal venous return because it is not taken straight to the heart.
Is capillary blood more like arterial blood than venous blood?
yes bcz O2-bound heamoglobin (called oxyheamoglobin) is bright red in colour.
What is the color of unoxygenated blood?
blood is never blue but arterial blood lacking oxygen is darker... venous blood is dark red arterial blood is bright red capillary blood is brick red
Does Gas exchange between the air in the alveolus and the blood takes place at the pulmonary capillary?
