At the venous end of capillaries, substances such as water, carbon dioxide, and metabolic waste products are taken up. This process occurs due to the lower hydrostatic pressure and higher osmotic pressure in the surrounding interstitial fluid, which facilitates the reabsorption of these materials. Additionally, nutrients and oxygen are primarily delivered at the arterial end, while waste removal occurs at the venous end.

What is the role of capillary in transport?

In muscles and other body tissues, there are capillary beds which connect arterial supply and venous return. Arteries end as capillaries in the body tissue, where blood dumps oxygen and nutrients for use by muscles. At this point they are considered arterial. They may also pick up waste products to carry away. By the end of the capillary beds, they are depleted and considered venous. They flow continuously into the veins which flow back to the heart. The heart sends this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and the cycle continues.


Where will all venous emboli go?

All veins lead to the right atrium of the heart. After the right atrium, blood goes into the right ventricle then the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. All venous emboli will eventually end up in the lungs.

Why reabsorption of tissue fluid into the blood in the capillaries is reduced in people whose diet is very low in protein?

If you're not getting enough protein in your diet the body turns on itself and starts to consume it's own proteins. These are the structural proteins in cells and tissues and the soluble proteins (including blood proteins, enzymes, antibodies and the like). This leads to loss of tissue and a reduction in the concentration of blood proteins. These soluble blood proteins - found in the plasma - are responsible for creating the osmotic pressure which draws tissue fluid into the capillaries. The reduction in the osmotic pressure gradient between blood and tissue fluid means that more fluid leaves the capillaries at the arterial end and less is re-absorbed at the venous end of the capillary network. The fluid then builds up in the tissues, a condition known as oedema.


What tissue makes up the lymphatic capillaries?

The lymphatic capillaries are made up of endothelial cells, which are thin-walled cells that line the inside of the vessels. These cells have small openings that allow fluid and molecules to enter the capillaries.

In what vessels does gas exchange occur?

Gas exchange primarily occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange of gases is facilitated by the thin walls of the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries.
