Blood Plasma And Tissue Fluid Flashcards
Blood plasma is mainly…
Water, with solutes like glucose and waste products such as urea.
Plasma also include protein molecules…
Plasma proteins, that remain in the blood all the time.
In capillaries some of the plasma…
Leaks out through the gaps in walls and accumulates in spaces between the cells of the tissue.
Tissue fluid is…
A leaked plasma which fills the intercellular spaces in the body.
Tissue fluid is similar to..
Plasma.
Tissue fluid contains fewer…
Proteins as many proteins are too large to escape from the capillaries through gaps.
Tissue fluid does not..
Contain a red blood cells but some white blood cells can escape.
The tissue fluid cannot return to…
The capillaries by osmosis as the pressure inside the capillaries is higher.
Tissue fluid forms the immediate…
Environment of each individual body cell.
Exchange of materials between cells and the blood occurs through…
The tissue fluid.
Hydrostatic pressure in capillaries is created as…
The capillaries are getting narrower.
Osmotic pressure is lower…
Than hydrostatic so fluid moves out.
Oedema is…
The build-up of fluid in the tissues as a result of high blood pressure, as too much fluid escapes the capillaries.
The role of arterioles is to reduce…
The pressure of the blood, when entering to the arterioles, and prevent oedema.
