What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?
Diapedesis
When leukocytes squeezes through capillary walls to enter tissue space outside the blood vessel it is called?
Diapedesis
What is red blood cell diapedesis?
the passage of blood cells, esp. leukocytes, through the unruptured walls of the capillaries into the tissues.Leukocyte extravasation is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection. This process forms part of the innate immune response, involving the recruitment of non-specific leukocytes. Monocytes also use this process in the absence of infection or tissue damage during their development into macrophages.
What can squeeze themselves through capillary walls?
neutrophils
What is water forced through capillary walls by?
Osmosis
What does Bulk fluid movement typically across capillary walls?
intercellular clefts
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
Is capillary a blood vessel?
Yes, the capillaries are the smallest kind of blood vessel, that facilitate the movement of substances (like oxygen and glucose) in and out of the blood through their very thin walls.
What is the process by which gases move in and out through the capillary walls?
Diffusion ;)
How are glucose and oxygen passed from the blood through the capillary walls to the cells?
Glucose and oxygen are transported from the blood to cells through capillary walls by a process called diffusion. The concentration gradient between the blood and the cells allows these molecules to passively move across the capillary walls. Once inside the cells, glucose and oxygen are used for energy production through cellular respiration.
What provides the most important means of transfer of biochemicals through capillary walls?
Diffusion.
What is diapedisis?
Diapedesis is the process by which white blood cells squeeze through the walls of capillaries and enter tissue spaces to reach sites of inflammation or infection in the body. This is an essential part of the immune response to pathogens.
