Summary Introduction

To explain: The movement of fluid across capillary endothelial cells.

Introduction: The capillaries are the branched blood vessels that give rise to a network between the arterioles and venules. They carry nutrients and oxygen to tissues and remove metabolic wastes.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The method by which balance of hydrostatic pressure and colloid pressure determines the direction of net fluid flow.

Introduction: The hydrostatic pressure is built-up by the pressure of blood plasma on the capillaries. The colloid osmotic pressure of blood is built-up by large molecules present in the blood, such as plasma proteins.

Explain the movement of fluid across capillary endothelial cells. How does balance of hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pres-sure determine direction of net fluid flow?
Blood pressure at the arterial end of capillaries is about 40 mm Hg in humans. If blood pressure at the venous end is about 15 mm Hg, and colloid osmotic pressure is 25 mm Hg throughout, what is the net effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissue spaces?
The vascular system delivers blood by a network of vessels, this process is regulated by the dynamics of fluid flow. a) State at least four factors that may affect this flow   b) Describe how fluid flow changes with respect to them.
