No, the movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is not called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called filtration. Filtration is a passive process driven by the pressure difference across a membrane.

Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?

Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.


Which forces affect the exchange of substances between blood and tissue fluid?

At the proximal end of capillary, you get the fluid out in the tissue fluid due to blood pressure. At the distal end of the capillary, you get back the tissue fluid due to oncotic pressure of the blood proteins.


Types of passive transport involves the movement of water and solute molecules due to hydrostatic pressure?

Diffusion involves the movement of material from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.Osmosis is a type of diffusion that specifically involves the movement of water.Facilitated diffusion is also a type of diffusion that uses special transport proteins to transfer larger molecules, such as glucose, across cell membranes.Filtration involves the movement of water and solute molecules across the cell membrane due to hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the cardiovascular system as blood is pumped through the body's blood vessels.so therefore Filtration is the answer.


What is the movement of water and solutes through a membrane because of hydrostatic pressure called?

This process is called filtration. It occurs when water and solutes are pushed through a membrane by pressure differentials, with higher hydrostatic pressure on one side of the membrane leading to the movement of water and solutes to the other side.


A solutions osmotic pressure differs from its hydrostatic pressure in that osmotic pressure is the force which pulls water across a membrane resulting from?

osmotic pressure is not the pressure which pulls the water , it is the other way round. It is the pressure with which the water molecule travel across the semi-permeable membrane. Hydrostatic pressure as the name suggests is the pressure due to the "standing column of water and not due to the movement

Blood flow through capillaries is controlled by?

Pressure. Capillaries are small so the force of blood coming from the heart is at greater pressure when it reaches the tiny capillaries. Pressure forces the diffusion of particles in and the osmotic diffusion of substances out (mainly metabolic wastes) to the veins.


What is the difference between diffusion and bulk flow in terms of the movement of substances across a membrane?

Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while bulk flow is the movement of substances in a fluid due to pressure differences. Diffusion occurs passively, while bulk flow requires energy.

Diffusion involves the movement of molecules due to and filtration is the movement of molecules due to?

Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. In contrast, filtration is the movement of molecules through a membrane or filter due to pressure differences, typically driven by hydrostatic pressure or gravity. While diffusion is a passive process based on random molecular motion, filtration often requires an external force to separate particles based on size.


Why water and dissolved substances leave the arterioles end of the capillary and enter the venule end?

Water and dissolved substances leave the arteriole end of the capillary due to hydrostatic pressure being higher than osmotic pressure and enter the venule of the capillary due to osmotic pressure being higher than hydrostatic pressure.

What involves the movement of matter?

The movement of matter involves physical processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and convection, where particles or substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. This movement is driven by factors like temperature, pressure, and concentration gradients.
