Do the mother's blood supply and the embryo's blood supply flow together?
The mother's blood and the embryo's blood do not mix freely. The placenta allows for the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients, but does not allow the actual blood to mix.
Does the circulatory system speed up blood flow to heat you up?
Yes, it is called shivering. This muscle activity releases heat and causes the blood flow to increase.
What is the speed of the flow of blood in mph when the body is at rest?
120 miles per hour.
What would cause blood flow to stop?
if the heart stops
What is the rate of blood flow through a person's arm?
Imagine if i ad it with ur ma! only joking! the rate of blood folw is approximately 4.23 in speed
Blood capillaries have fast or slow flow?
Capillaries have slow flow. This slow speed maximizes opportunities of diffusion of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes.
How does blood flow from capillary to venule?
By the process of diffusion.
Slow blood flow within capillaries?
Slow blood flow in the capillaries helps increase the efficiency of diffusion. The thin capillary wall also helps with diffusion.
What are the benefits of red blood cells passing through capillaries one at a time?
The narrow diameter of capillaries maximizes opportunities for diffusion of oxygen, wastes, and nutrients into and out of the blood from the body tissues. The slow speed of flow also facilitates diffusion.
If someone's blood flow was faster would it increase their bodily speed as well?
No.
Why does the fluid in dialysis have to flow in opposite directions?
It has to flow in opposite directions to keep a balanced concentration therefore a balanced diffusion. If it went in the same direction as the blood there would be less diffusion as, for instance, by the time the dialysis fluid from the right side got the the left, no more diffusion could take place with the blood above it as the fluid would already have gone though diffusion with blood further back down the right end so particles would not move from a high concentration to a low concentration as the fluid below would have a high concentration too from what it gained back at the right end.
What blood vessel exchanges substances with a nephron?
Capillary. The thin walls allow diffusion of materials to pass from the blood flow into the nephron.
What instrument measures blood speed?
A Doppler ultrasound is used to measure the speed of blood flow in the body. This non-invasive imaging technique uses sound waves to detect movement and produce pictures of blood vessels and the flow of blood within them.
How does the bulk flow of filtrate into the capsule differ from diffusion?
The bulk flow of filtrate is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is a broad category of distribution of a substance within another substance. Diffusion can be specific or general in location and rate of flow.
What do you mean by viscous flow?
Its the Speed of which the flow travels, Water will travel faster than blood or yogurt
When is the speed of blood slowest in blood vessels?
Veins are where the blood flow is the slowest. Blood flow velocity decreases from the aorta to the arteries to capillaries.
When eddy diffusion occurs?
if there is convective flow or bulk flow or random mixing of molecules ,eddy diffusion will occur.
