What else can I help you with?
What happens to the capillary if the diameter of tube is changes?
the capillaries help you breath
What happens at an arterial end?
At the arterial end of a capillary bed, blood pressure is higher than at the venous end. This pressure allows nutrients, oxygen, and other essential substances to be pushed out of the capillaries and into the surrounding tissues.
What happens if your capillaries burst?
if a capillary bursts it is no biggie. it is just like getting a paper cut. you don't bleed a lot because in capillaries it is easy for platelets to heal it.
What happens to the pulse pressure between the aorta and the capillaries?
it makes poo
What happens if capillary pressure increases too much?
The capillary might burst (bruising) or, if it is the kidneys, the subject might pee blood.
How capillary thermostat works?
The capillary thermostat has a capillary tube which is usually filled with a refrigerant which usually contracts or expands due to temperature. As the temperature expands this liquid and in turn this pressure presses against a bellows that pushes against a switch , the switch closes and the refrigerator runs until the capillary cools enough to decrease the pressure and the opposite happens.
What happens after blood enters the glomerulus in the kidney?
The glomerulus is the cluster of capillaries that branch off the renal artery in the kidneys. It is here that filtrationtakes place - small molecules such as glucose, water, ions and amino acids diffuse through the narrow capillary walls and into the nephron.
How do capillaries relate to veins and arteries and what happens to the capillaries?
If you imagine your right arm as an artery and your left arm as a vein, then clasp your fingers together gently and imagine this is a capillary bed. Arterioles and venules come together in capillary beds and as oxygen is exchanged to surrounding tissue the blood from arteries is passed through the arterioles, through the venules and into the veins to return to the heart. Check out the Wikipedia article in the related links, and look at the image on the right.
Why is the drop in blood pressure important in exchanging fluids within the capillaries?
It is important because capillaries do most of their work of exchanging gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, by diffusion, which works best under less pressure. ???That is not quite right. Exchange of gases occurs when there are different concentrations in a given sample and it has nothing to do with pressure. Filtration occurs under different pressure, diffusion happens regardless of pressure.
What happens to capillary action as soil particle size decreases?
Capillary action increases as soil particle size decreases because smaller particles have higher surface area that enhances water retention and movement between them. Smaller particles create a tighter network of capillaries, allowing water to move more readily through the soil.
What occurs in the capillaries?
Capillary exchange- exchange of gases- internal or tissue respiration
What happens to carbon dioxide in the blood when it flows through the capillaries in the alveoli?
The CO2 is diffused back into the alveoli, where, by the diaphragm, is pushed back into the environment by atmospheric pressure.
