exchange of fluid that occurs across the capillary membrane between the blood and the interstitial fluid. This fluid movement is controlled by the capillary blood pressure, the interstitial fluid pressure and the colloid osmotic pressure of the plasma. Low blood pressure results in fluid moving from the interstitial space into the circulation helping to restore blood volume and blood pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Will an increase in capillary pressure shift fluid into the capillaries?
An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries
What is capillary reabsorption?
fluid entering the capillary
What is the shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space called?
The shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space is called extravasation or leakage. This can occur due to various factors such as inflammation, increased capillary permeability, or imbalance in hydrostatic pressure.
Which forces act to move fluid back into the capillary reabsorption?
Osmotic pressure is what draws fluid back into the capillary from the tissues.
What is the most important transport mechanism in a capillary bed?
the cocoon.
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 .
From what does capillary cell wall receives blood?
The capillary cell wall receives blood from the interstitial fluid.
The primary mechanism for exchange of substances across the capillary wall is?
Diffusion
What is fluid shift?
Fluid shift is the transfer of fluid from blood to interstitial fluid (IF). This transfer changes blood and IF volumes.
Why does the fluid leave the capillary at the beginning of the capillary need and flow back in at the other end?
Fluid leaves the capillary at the arterial end primarily due to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the blood, which forces plasma and small solutes out into the surrounding tissues. As blood moves through the capillary, the pressure decreases, and osmotic pressure, driven by proteins in the blood, becomes more significant. This osmotic pressure pulls fluid back into the capillary at the venous end, balancing fluid exchange and maintaining homeostasis in the tissues.
What is the mechanism that allows oxygen to move from the alveolar into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Simple diffusion
The fluid that is forced out of the capillary beds by hydrostatic and osmotic pressures and into the tissue spaces is called?
interstitial fluid
