Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.16AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effects on solutes crossing cell membranes due to the differences in pressure between arterial capillaries, interstitial fluids and venous capillaries have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Body fluids: About
Intracellular fluid: The fluid inside the cells.
Extracellular fluid: The fluids outside the cells and it include mainly plasma and interstitial fluid.
Passive diffusion is the movement of solutes which can cross the membrane freely and move from regions of high solute concentration to the region of low solute concentration.

Transport of biomolecules to tissues takes place through capillary walls by both convection and diffusion. Consider an endothelium in which the gaps between the cells are characterized by the following dimensions: L=1 µm long, h=200 nm high, and W=10 nm in width (the last dimension is the distance between the two cells). The fluid is at 37degC and has the same properties as physiologic saline. Let the average pressure in the capillary be 45 mm Hg and let the pressure in the tissue be 0 mm Hg (ignore osmotic effects). Consider a small solute that has a diffusion coefficient of 1x10-5 cm2/s. Does this solute pass across the endothelium by diffusion or is it primarily carried by flow?
under what circumstances does diffusion and bulk flow work most efficiently?
What is the function of pressure in osmosis?
