What force pulls the blood to the the lower part of the body?
energy is the force check
Does blood pressure determine the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries?
Yes it does.
Relating to the force of blood going through the heart?
relating to the force if the blood going through the heart?
The Basic Driving Force Of plate movement of Covergent Boundary?
oh nah
True or false the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure?
True.
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
What releases when the sympathetic nervous system responds to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate?
Increased sympathetic activity causes the afferent arterioles of the renal glomerulus to constrict, thereby reducing blood flow into the glomerulus. Because a decrease in blood flow reduces blood pressure in the glomerulus, which is the driving force for filtration, GFR decreases.
Glomerular net filtration pressure is best defined as?
The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
What chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
True.
Which force favors blood filtration?
Capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure (glomerular blood pressure)
What is the primary driving force that produces glomerular filtration?
Osmotic pressure in the blood vessel or cell pushes water from a place with a lower concentration of dissolved solids (there is more water on that side, proportionally), to the other side if there is a higher concentration of dissolved solids (because proportionally there is less water)
In the body where does the driving pressure for fluid flow come from?
The pressure difference between the two ends of a blood vessel is the driving force behind blood flow.
What happens after blood enters the glomerulus in the kidney?
The glomerulus is the cluster of capillaries that branch off the renal artery in the kidneys. It is here that filtrationtakes place - small molecules such as glucose, water, ions and amino acids diffuse through the narrow capillary walls and into the nephron.
What is the driving force for blood flow through the systemic circuit?
mean arterial pressure
