What else can I help you with?
Which system reclaims and returns fluids and solutes that have exited the circulatory system?
The lymphatic system reclaims and returns fluids and solutes that have exited the circulatory system.
Water passes from the tissue fluids into the blood capillaries mainly because?
lymph blood has a higher protein concentration than the tissue fluids
What is the name of the pressure that forces fluids from capillaries into extracellular spaces?
Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
What pressure is responsible for reabsorption and for pulling fluids into the venous end of capillaries?
Osmotic pressure
The only blood vessels whose walls permit exchange between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluids are the?
Capillaries
Can you drink proteins?
Yes, you can drink proteins. Technically yes. Protein shakes for instance. Fluids are drunk and shakes have proteins within them altogether in fluid form.
What does alcohol do the lung function?
alcohol abuse disrupts the proteins that keep fluids out of the lung.
The presence of plasma proteins in the blood increases its what pressure as compared to tissue fluids?
venous
What is the function of the veins and capillaries?
Capillaries are considered separately from veins. They are the smallest vessels in the circulatory system. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur through them. Also wastes and nutrients.Veins carry deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation back to your heart. Capillaries are the small blood vessels that transfer blood between arteries and veins. The capillaries supply the cells with nutrients, fluids and oxygen. Capillaries also remove carbon dioxide.
What filters tissue fluid?
Capillaries in tissues filter tissue fluid by allowing small molecules like water, ions, and nutrients to pass through their walls while preventing larger molecules like proteins and blood cells from leaving the bloodstream. This process helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body.
What is clear fluids that resembles plasma called?
Clear fluids that resemble plasma are typically referred to as serous fluids. These fluids are thin and watery, containing electrolytes, proteins, and other substances similar to plasma. Examples include serous fluids found in the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities.
What is the dangerous condition where cytokines are released unchecked making the capillaries very leaky thus depleting blood fluids?
septic shock or sepsis
