What is a velocity potential?
A velocity potential is a scalar function whose gradient is equal to the velocity of the fluid at that point. If a fluid is incompressible and has zero viscosity (an ideal fluid) its velocity as a function of position can always be described by a velocity potential. For a real fluid this is not generally possible.

Myxedema is a disease caused by hypothyroidism which causes production of excessive amounts of glycoprotein in the interstital spaces The effect of this on capillary fluid dynamics would be to cause?
reduced osmotic return of fluid and thus accumulation of fluid in the tissues resulting in edema
What is the fluid in the womb?

What is the function of synonvial fluid?

What is potassiums function?
Potassium maintains proper fluid balance, nerve impulse function, muscle function, and cardiac function.
Where does the lymphatic system drain?
Lymph is interstitial fluid that drains from the blood vessels and goes into the interstital space. Lymph retruns to the blood stream via the lymphatic vessels that drain into the subclavian vein.
What is the function of csytoplasm in a plant cell?
