hydrostatic pressure
is the pressure exerted by a fluid on the walls of a container. In the context of the circulatory system, hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels.
Blood pressure is a type of hydrostatic pressure.
What is tissue fluid
Contains water glucose fatty acids , ions and oxygen amino acids
what does tissue fluid do to cells
bathes them
How is tissue fluid formed
Capillaries have small gaps so that small molecules and liquid can be forced out
As blood enters capillary from arterioles the small diameter results in …………………. pressure which ………..
