What else can I help you with?
Compare the strength of arterial walls and capillary walls?
arterial walls has smooth muscle and elastic fibers (strong and flexible) and capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells (thin).
Which side of the capillary bed has the highest hydrostatic pressure?
arterial
Which end of the blood capillary has the high hydrostatic pressure?
arterial end
Why do substances tend to leave the bloodstream at the arterial end of the capillary?
to ignorant to answer
What type of pressure causes water to exit the arterial side of the capillary?
Hydrostatic.
What does the thinnest of the capillary walls allow?
only metabolic wastes out of the capillary
What do you call the expansion and contraction of the arterial walls that can be felt in all the arteries near the surface of the skin?
The expansion and contraction of the arterial walls is the pulse.
Why hydrostatic pressure is high at arterial end of blood capillary?
Hydrostatic pressure is high at the arterial end of a blood capillary because this is where blood enters the capillary under high pressure from the heart. This pressure helps to push fluid and nutrients out of the capillary and into the surrounding tissues. This process is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products.
Why is blood pressure higher at the arterial end of the capillary than at the venus end?
becayse
Plaque on the arterial walls is characteristic of?
atherosclerosis.
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
What is the arterial venous anastomosis?
An arterial anastomosis is when more than one artery fuses before giving rise to arterioles. An arterial anastomosis in effect provides an insurance policy for capillary beds: If one artery is compressed or blocked, the others can continue to deliver blood to the capillary bed, and dependent tissues will not be damaged. Arterial anastomoses occur in the brain, in the coronary circulation, and in many other sites as well.
