In comparing a parallel artery and vein you would find what?
In comparing a parallel artery and vein, you would find that the vein had thinner walls and a darker color. The artery would have thicker, more muscular walls and a brighter red color.
Why does blood move faster through your capillaries?
Blood does not move faster through the capillaries. Blood flow is slowest in the capillaries.
Which structure contains the capillaries responsible for filtering blood into the nephron?
The glomerulous
What begins with capillaries in the abdominal viscera and ends with capillaries in the liver?
portal system
Which forces act to move fluid back into the capillary reabsorption?
Osmotic pressure is what draws fluid back into the capillary from the tissues.
Why is capillary tube fixed in Ostwalds viscometer?
The capillary tube is fixed in the Ostwalds viscometer is for passing the liquid.
What is the direction of diffusion of gases at the capillaries near systemic cells?
oxygen out of blood, carbon dioxide into blood
What happens to capillaries when the body is at rest?
Capillaries supply blood to your tissues. When the body is at rest, less energy is being used so the capillaries are not as engorged in comparison to exercise.
When one rests on harder surfaces, more pressure points occur that can close off capillaries and decrease blood flow. This can be amended with cushioning, or balanced by changing body position intermittently to allow easier circulation to these areas.
What does the alveolus and capillary have in common?
Thin walls to allow gases to diffuse across them
Which part of the gastrointestinal tract has the highest concentration of blood capillaries?
This would be in the small intestine, because most absorption takes place there.
Cappillaries are the smallest of the body's blood vessels and are part of the microcirculation. They are being use to transfer and exchange water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other nutrients and waste chemical substance.
What is the name of the pressure that forces fluids from capillaries into extracellular spaces?
Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
What process takes place at the capillaries and how are capillaries suited for this process?
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
Where does the exchange of oxygenfood nutrients and waste materials take place?
You don't specify which organism you are asking about, but I assume you mean in humans. These processes happen all over the body between the blood capillaries and the cells. If you mean exchange with the outside world, then oxygen is exchanged in the lungs, food nutrients in the small intestine, and nitrogenous waste in the kidneys. However, waste carbon dioxide is exchanged through the lungs and other wastes through the skin.
What is the affect of exercise on arteries veins and capillaries?
i dont effin know i dont effin know
What is Capillary Electrophoresis?
Capillary electrophoresis (CE), also known as capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), can be used to separate ionic species by their charge and frictional forces. In traditional electrophoresis, electrically charged analytes move in a conductive liquid medium under the influence of an electric field. Introduced in the 1960s, the technique of capillary electrophoresis (CE) was designed to separate species based on their size to charge ratio in the interior of a small capillary filled with an electrolyte. While its use has been sporadic, CE offers unparalleled resolution and selectivity allowing for separation of analytes with very little physical difference. Efficiencies of millions of plates are routinely reported. Once thought impossible, separation of large proteins differing in only one amino acid (ie. D-Lysine substituted for L-Lysine) and even an isotopic separation of 14N and 15N ammonium hydroxide have been reported.[1] No other technique has shown such powerful selectivity with the ability for extremely high sensitivity. As few as 6 molecules of a substance have been separated and detected with the help of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF).
How do you pronounce the word capillaries?
My Anatomy professor says it CAP-UH-LARRY'S but he has a strange accent and often mispronounces things.
I actually say it, "CUP-ILL-UH-REEZ"
any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.
What eventually happens to fluid that leaks from capillaries onto the surrounding tissue?
the lmyphic system absourds it and give it back to the heart.
Capillary action occurs when a liquid, such as water, is in a narrow vessel. Adhesion of water molecules to the walls of the vessel causes an upward force on the liquid at the edges and results in these molecules moving up the walls. The surface tension, which acts much like a skin across the water's surface, holds the water molecules together. So instead of just the edges of the water moving upward, the whole liquid surface is dragged upward, creating a curved surface. thats how we do it WV.
How does capillaries helps in regulating the body temperature?
If you are overheating, vasodilation causes more blood to flow through capillaries close to the epidermis. The capillaries carry heat energy, which is lost by radiation from our skin. This is why we tend to look flushed. If we are too cold, vasoconstriction restricts the volume of blood, and the amount of heat energy, from escaping. This explains our tendency to develop a pale clamour when cold.
Why are blood capillaries present in the centre of the tooth?
Because the cells of the pulp cavity produce dentin.
How are the structures of arteries capillaries and veins similar how are they different?
The structures of arteries, capillaries, and veins are all different, because of their different functions. The only way that they are similar is because they are hollow, and have some elasticity.
