What else can I help you with?
Is the capillary hydrostatic pressure always higher than the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure?
no
How do net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure each change along the length of a capillary?
Net hydrostatic pressure decreases along the length of a capillary due to resistance and filtration of fluid out of the capillary. In contrast, net osmotic pressure remains relatively constant along the capillary length, as proteins and solutes that contribute to osmotic pressure do not leave the capillary as easily.
Which side of the capillary bed has the highest hydrostatic pressure?
arterial
Does the presence of albumin in capillary blood result in hydrostatic pressure?
No
What is the name of the pressure that forces fluids from capillaries into extracellular spaces?
Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
Which end of the blood capillary has the high hydrostatic pressure?
arterial end
What reflects balance between the direction and amount of fluid that flows across capillary walls?
Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure.
The most important force driving reabsorption at the venous end of a capillary is?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
Why hydrostatic pressure is high at arterial end of blood capillary?
Hydrostatic pressure is high at the arterial end of a blood capillary because this is where blood enters the capillary under high pressure from the heart. This pressure helps to push fluid and nutrients out of the capillary and into the surrounding tissues. This process is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products.
What type of pressure causes water to exit the arterial side of the capillary?
Hydrostatic.
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 is filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
