Which forces affect the exchange of substances between blood and tissue fluid?
At the proximal end of capillary, you get the fluid out in the tissue fluid due to blood pressure. At the distal end of the capillary, you get back the tissue fluid due to oncotic pressure of the blood proteins.
The process that transports substances out of the tubular fluid and back into the blood of the peritubular capillary is known as?
Tubular secretion
What is reabsorbtion?
In renal physiology, reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron removes water and solutes from the tubular fluid (pre-urine) and returns them to the circulating blood. It is called reabsorption (and not absorption) because these substances have already been absorbed once (particularly in the intestines) and the body is reclaiming them from a postglomerular fluid stream that is on its way to becoming urine (that is, they will soon be lost to the urine unless they are reabsorbed from the tubule into the peritubular capillaries.

What is the movement Of molecule back into the blood?
reabsorption
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
Why capillary influence the percent of water in the body?
Capillaries do not influence the percent of body fluid. The fluid leaving the circulation through proximal end comes back through distal end.
When water moves from a nephron in the kidney back to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption
What causes excess fluid in the interstitial compartment?
There is hydrostatic pressure within the capillary pushing the fluid out because fluid will always flow from high pressure to low pressure. At the same time there is something called blood colloid osmotic pressure which is the formed elements and larger plasma components such as proteins drawing fluid back into the capillary lumen by osmosis. The end result is that nearly just as much fluid that is filtered out at one end is reabsorbed by the time it reaches the other end. This is known as Starlings Law of the capillaries.What little excess isn't reabsorbed by the capillary will be picked up and returned to the cardiovascular system through the lymphatic system.
How do cells in humans get the nutrients they need?
Each and every cell in your body (trillions) has a capillary that goes right by it. These capillaries are part of the blood delivery system. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells and picks up waste and carbon dioxide.
What is the medical term meaning process of accepting again or taking back?
Reabsorption - the process of accepting again or taking back.
What is the difference between filtration and reabsorbtion?
Filtration Filtration is accomplished by the movement of fluids from the blood into the bowmans capsule. = Reabsorption = = Reabsorption involves the selective transfer of essential solutes and = water back into the blood.
What is the function of tubular reabsorption?
Tubular reabsorption is the movement of filtrate from renal tubules back into blood in response to the body's specific needs.
