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.

Do all fluids exert pressure?

Yes, all fluids exert pressure. Pressure is a fundamental property of fluids and is caused by the molecules in a fluid colliding with the walls of the container or object they are in contact with.

Capillaries function to exchange materials Materials will move into the capillary from the interstitial fluid at the?

capillary's venous end, where the osmotic pressure exceeds the hydrostatic pressure, facilitating the reabsorption of fluids and solutes. This process allows nutrients and waste products to be exchanged efficiently between the blood and surrounding tissues. Additionally, the thin walls of capillaries enable this exchange to occur easily through diffusion and filtration.


What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?

Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.


What force causes the bulk flow of fluids (gases and liquids) in a system?

The force that causes the bulk flow of fluids in a system is typically pressure difference. This pressure difference drives the movement of fluids, such as gases and liquids, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
