Question 1

arterial end

Answer 1

Has to do with arteries or arterioles; blood enters the arterial end of a capillary bed; arterial blood is blood found in the arteries

Question 2

capillary-tissue fluid exchange

Answer 2

Occurs in capillary beds, the process describes why oxygen and nutrients enter the tissue fluid from the blood and why carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes leave the tissue fluid and enter the blood

Question 3

lymph capillaries

Answer 3

The starting point of the one-way lymphatic system; lymph capillaries originate in the tissues and drain tissue fluid that has not been reabsorbed into the bloodstream to lymph veins

Question 4

osmotic pressure

Answer 4

The force that caused water to move in either direction across a semi-permeable membrane

Question 5

plasma

Answer 5

The liquid portion of the blood; mainly consists of water; 7% to 8% of plasma consists of proteins

Question 6

tissue fluid

Answer 6

Extracellular fluid which bathes the cells of most tissues, arriving via blood capillaries and being removed via the lymphatic vessels

Question 7

venous end

Answer 7

Has to do with the veins or venules; blood enters the venule at the venous end of a capillary bed; venous blood is blood found in the veins

Question 8

nutrients

Answer 8
