Capillary exchange
Movement of substances in and out of capillaries
Most important means of exchange
Diffusion
What affects the movement of fluid form capillaries
BP, Capillary permeability and osmosis
Diffusion in cappilaries
- lipid soluble cross capillary walls diffusion through plasma membrane
- water-soluble diffuse through intercellular spaces or through fenstatrions of capillaries
Net filtration pressure
Force responsible for fluid moving across capillary walls, two forces affect pressure
Hydrostatic pressure
physical pressure of blood flowing through
the vessels or of fluid in interstitial spaces
Osmotic pressure
movement of solutes (plasma or tissue fluid)
through a membrane (plasma membrane) in the presence of a non-
diffusible solute (large proteins); Large proteins do not freely pass
through the capillary walls and the difference in protein
concentrations between the blood and interstitial fluid is
responsible for osmosis
Net Filtration pressure equation
Net hydrostatic pressure minus net osmotic pressure
Net hydrostatic pressure equation
CHP - IFP = net hydrostatic pressure
CHP
capillary Hydrostatic pressure
IHP
interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
Interstellar fluid hydrostatic pressure
hydrostatic pressure exerted by the interstellar fluid of tissue surrounding the capillaries
Net osmotic pressure equation
BCOP-ICOP= Net osmotic pressure
BCOP
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
ICOP
Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure
