What type of pressure causes water to exit the arterial side of the capillary?
Hydrostatic.
What type of pressure causes water to exit from the arterial side of the capillary?
I've been seeing the answer as "hydrostatic pressure" on other websites, but I am pretty sure it is Blood Pressure. I hope I was able to help :/
What type of pressure causes to enter the venous side of the capillary?
Osmotic pressure...
What aids the passage of water into the blood on the venous side of the capillary?
osmotic pressure
What are the two types of outside pressures that may act on the outside of an organism?
Atmospheric pressure out side the body and hydrostatic pressure for animals that live in water
When blood leaves the heart and travels through the circulation does the pressure change?
Yes; the blood pressure tends to be highest closest to the heart (actually, the highest pressure in the circulatory system is in the left ventricle) and slowly drops as it reaches the capillaries. However, there is still some blood pressure at the capillaries, which is why the serum can be forced across the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid to exchange nutrients. There is also some blood pressure in the venous system, although it is much lower than the arterial side.
Why should the lateral side of the infant's heel be used for capillary puncture?
Because of abundant capillary flow.
Where do you put the holes in the pop can hero engine challenge?
on the side of the can near the bottom where the pressure is highest
What type of blood vessel do you take blood pressure in?
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
Why mercury does not rise in capillary tubes?
A liquid has two properties (amongst many) called cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules/atoms of the liquid itself. Adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules/atoms of the liquid and other substances. Therefore, if the molecules' attraction for another substance is greater than the attraction between the molecules, the molecules will preferentially interact with the other substance. When you have a substance that is more attracted to the walls of a capillary tube than itself (i.e. adhesion > cohesion), the substance will exhibit capillary action and form a concave meniscus. Mercury, however, has a stronger cohesive force between its atoms than adhesive force to the walls of a capillary tube, and therefore will not preferentially interact with the tube, thus not demonstrating capillary action and forming a convex meniscus. Curved surfaces have a higher pressure (called LaPlace pressure) on the concave side of the curve than on the convex side. Because mercury has a convex meniscus it has a lower LaPlace pressure in the capillary than the surrrounding liquid. It will therefore show a capillary drop rather than the more common capillary rise seen with materials that have a concave meniscus like water.
What is an orafice tube in an auto air conditioning system?
the orifice tube is the very small capillary gas control tube that meters the gas from the compressed high pressure side of the system to the low pressure side. Some times they will get stopped up either from moisture in the system or from blown screens on the dryer filters.
What kind of vessel gives blood to a capillary?
Either a arteriole on the artery side or a venule on the vein side of the bed.
