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.
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.
The movement of fluid through the cell membrane from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area is called?
active transport
What is the movement of water and solutes through a membrane because of hydrostatic pressure called?
osmosis
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
What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
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 are the Four ways materials can enter a cell?
Diffusion, filtration (hydrostatic pressure), active transport, and vesicular transport.
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.
Movement of molecules through a membrane by filtration depends upon the presence of?
Hydrostatic Pressure
Is osmosis diffusion through water?
yes osmosis is diffusion through water diffusion is a random movement of molecules from a high area of pressure to a low area of pressure
Use of hydrostatic force to move fluids through a membrane?
There are many mechanisms for water to move through a membrane. Passive diffusion (osmosis) and facilitated diffusion are common biological processes. Sometimes a fluid like water can be forced through with hydrostatic pressure (water pressure), although this is less common in normal physiology.
The primary means of water movement between fluid compartments is?
The movement of water and electrolytes is primarily regulated between fluid compartments by hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure.
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What is hydrostatic pressure in renal corpuscle?
BHP, blood hydrostatic pressure
