Why is capillary blood glucose value higher than venous blood glucose?
Elicec15
Because the glucose in capillary blood is not fully delivered to the cells yet. Once the blood leaves the capillary and enters the vein, the glucose has then been delivered to the cells and the blood is considered used.

The most important force driving reabsorption at the venous end of a capillary is?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
What aids the passage of water into the blood on the venous side of the capillary?

What are the uses of capillary blood in chemistry analysis?
to measure glucose
What is the blood pressure of a capillary bed?
Pressure at capillary bed varies from 32mmHg at the arteriolar end to about 10mmHg at venous end, with an average of 17mmHg
What two types of blood specimens are used for most hematological tests?
Capillary blood samples and venous blood samples are both used for hematological tests.
What is the functional nature of a portal system and how does it differ from normal venous return flow?
In a portal system, blood flows from a capillary bed through veins to another capillary bed. It differs from normal venous return because it is not taken straight to the heart.
Is capillary blood more like arterial blood than venous blood?
yes bcz O2-bound heamoglobin (called oxyheamoglobin) is bright red in colour.
Is capillary a blood vessel?
Yes, the capillaries are the smallest kind of blood vessel, that facilitate the movement of substances (like oxygen and glucose) in and out of the blood through their very thin walls.
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.
