The pressure that is exerted on the inside of cell walls and that is caused by the movement of water into the cell?
Osmotic pressure across the cell wall, here called Turgor Pressure.
What is blood pressure used to evaluate?
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
What is Intrapulmonary pressure?
The intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure in the alveoli. Intrapulmonary pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing, but it ALWAYS eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure.
Pleural cavity pressure?
Pleural pressure, or Ppl, is the pressure surrounding the lung, within the pleural space. During quiet breathing, the pleural pressure is negative; that is, it is below atmospheric pressure.
When intrapulmonary pressure drops below atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
Inspiration occurs when the intrapulmonary pressure decreases to below atmospheric pressure
Importance of osmotic pressure?
Secret. ^_^ Here is a simple experiment for Osmotic pressure in the blood :http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=NUR4004 , My Bilogy teacher told me that Turgor pressure and Osmotic Pressure in plants are the same so if shes right, means osmostic pressure is the water that enters the cell and pushes against the cell wall which keeps the plant cell turgid.. Please make sure of what I said before spreading or learning.
Is absolute pressure static pressure?
absolute pressure
What does absolute pressure include that gauge pressure does not?
abosulute pressure includes the atmospheric pressure while gage pressure gives the pressure above atmospheric pressure
How do you calculate suction pressure for air theoretically?
Air has a pressure, but not a suction pressure. Air pressure is measured with a barometer, you do not calculate it. Suction pressure is a concept which applies to a pump. Suction pressure = static pressure + surface pressure - vapour pressure - friction pressure.
When you take a persons blood pressure it is a reflection of lymphatic pressure arterial pressure osmotic pressure or venous pressure?
arterial pressure
What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
What is the total pressure gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure?
Absolute Pressure
What is intrathoracic pressure?
Intrathoracic pressure is the pressure inside of the pleural cavity. It is also called intrapleural pressure and the normal pressure is called negative pressure.
What are the types of pressure?
They're 5 Kinds of Peer Pressure These are it ~ Negative Peer Pressure , Positive Peer Pressure , Heavy Peer Pressure , Indirect Peer Pressure , and Friendly Peer Pressure
Is high pressure rising pressure?
No. High pressure is pressure that is higher than an established normal pressure. The pressure may be rising, falling, or remain the same
