What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?
Diapedesis
When leukocytes squeezes through capillary walls to enter tissue space outside the blood vessel it is called?
Diapedesis
What is red blood cell diapedesis?
the passage of blood cells, esp. leukocytes, through the unruptured walls of the capillaries into the tissues.Leukocyte extravasation is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection. This process forms part of the innate immune response, involving the recruitment of non-specific leukocytes. Monocytes also use this process in the absence of infection or tissue damage during their development into macrophages.
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
What does Bulk fluid movement typically across capillary walls?
intercellular clefts
What can squeeze themselves through capillary walls?
neutrophils
What is water forced through capillary walls by?
Osmosis
Is capillary a blood vessel?
Yes, the capillaries are the smallest kind of blood vessel, that facilitate the movement of substances (like oxygen and glucose) in and out of the blood through their very thin walls.
What is the process by which gases move in and out through the capillary walls?
Diffusion ;)
What provides the most important means of transfer of biochemicals through capillary walls?
Diffusion.
The process by which neutrophils are squeezed through the capillary walls during the inflammatory process is called?

What is the ability to move through inter-cellular spaces of the capillary walls to the surrounding tissues?
