What type of pressure causes water to exit the arterial side of the capillary?
Hydrostatic.
Why At the arteriole end of the capillary more fluid leaves the capillary than enters as a result of differences in what?
The reason fluid leaves at the arterial end of the capillary bed and returns to the venous end of the capillary bed is the difference in hydrostatic pressure. This means the pressure against the inside of the vessel is greater that the pressure on the outside of the vessel on the arterial end and vice-versa on the venous end. Also, loss of water at the arterial end very slightly raises the oncotic pressure on the venous end, although to what degree this adds to the return of fluid to the vasculature is unknown.
What causes Plasma oncotic pressure?
The capillary oncotic pressure is higher because of the plasma proteins trapped within the capillaries. The high oncotic pressure pulls the water from from the interstitium into the capillary.
When the osmotic pressure in a capillary exceeds the blood pressure in the capillary what is the net movement of fluid?
water and waste will move in capillary . water and waste will move in capillary .
What force causes water to be transported to the plant shorter than 3 meters?
gravity * * * * * capillary pressure
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.
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 motion causes water to travel from roots to leaves?
Capillary action
Vascular plants what causes the water to go up the tubes?
Capillary Action
What propety of water causes it to move up a paer towel?
Capillary action.
What is the most important force causing net water flow across capillary walls?
The most important force causing net water flow across capillary walls is the pressure difference between the hydrostatic pressure inside the capillaries and the oncotic pressure due to proteins in the blood. This pressure difference, known as the Starling forces, drives the movement of water out of the capillaries into the interstitial space.
What aids the passage of water into the blood on the venous side of the capillary?
osmotic pressure
