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 60% of human body is water and this water occupies in two departments called the intracellular and extracellular compartments.

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.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
under what circumstances does diffusion and bulk flow work most efficiently?
How does the intensity of simple diffusion vary in relation to the concentration gradient of the moved substance?
What type of intravenous solution (isotonic/hypertonic/hypotonic) must be administered to a patient suffering from polydipsia (excessive thirst) after a head injury?
