Which force favors blood filtration?
The force that favors blood filtration in the kidneys is called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the heart pumping blood into the glomerulus, forcing water and small solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule.
Which process describes the pushing of water across the capillary (blood vessel) membrane?
The process that describes the pushing of water across the capillary membrane is called filtration. Filtration occurs due to the pressure difference between the blood inside the capillary (hydrostatic pressure) and the surrounding tissue (osmotic pressure). This pressure gradient forces water and small solutes to move out of the capillary into the surrounding tissue.
Solutions that have the same osmotic pressure are called .?
Solutions having the same osmotic pressures are called isotonic solutions
What type of pressure causes to enter the venous side of the capillary?
The pressure in the tissue surrounding the capillary, called interstitial fluid pressure, causes fluids to enter the venous side of the capillary due to the pressure gradient. This pressure helps to balance the forces of filtration and reabsorption in the capillary beds.
IS The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called diffusion?
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.
What is the shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space called?
The shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space is called extravasation or leakage. This can occur due to various factors such as inflammation, increased capillary permeability, or imbalance in hydrostatic pressure.
What is it called when cells burst because of osmotic pressure?
Cytolysis or Osmotic-lysis
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
What is a skeleton that is made out of water called?
a hydrostatic skeleton
The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing is called .?
hydrostatic
What does hydrostatic weighing mean?
Hydrostatic weighing, also called underwater weighing, involves being weighed underwater.requires one to be completely submerged in water for a few seconds. ref. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hydrostatic-weighing.htm
What is the tendency of a liquid to rise in a small diameter tube called?
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
