Why hydrostatic pressure is high at arterial end of blood capillary?
heart
Which end of the blood capillary has the high hydrostatic pressure?
arterial end
What happens at an arterial end?
At the arterial end of a capillary bed, blood pressure is higher than at the venous end. This pressure allows nutrients, oxygen, and other essential substances to be pushed out of the capillaries and into the surrounding tissues.
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
What kind of wound spurts bright red blood?
This would be arterial bleeding - bright red pertains to oxygen-rich blood and the squirting is because of the pressure from the heart. Venous blood will appear dark, and oxygenated blood from the arteries will appear bright red in color.
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 :/

Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
What is the color of unoxygenated blood?
blood is never blue but arterial blood lacking oxygen is darker... venous blood is dark red arterial blood is bright red capillary blood is brick red
What is the name of the blood vessels that carry arterial blood into the capillary bed where filtration will occur?
loop of Henley
Why arterial bleeding is difficult to control?
Because being closer to the beating of the heart, it has more pressure behind it. Arterial blood is "outboud". Venous blood is "inbound".ANS2:Arterial bleeding is difficult to control because the pulsing pressure, delivered directly from the heart, makes clot formation less effective for staunching the flow than it would be for capillary or venous bleeding.
