Tissue Fluid Formation Flashcards
1
Q
What is the first step of tissue fluid formation?
A
- At the arteriole end
- Outward blood pressure is greater than the inward water potential
- Caused by the effect of plasma proteins
2
Q
What is the second step of tissue fluid formation?
A
- Water ions and small molecules
- Filtered/forced out of the blood
- Into spaces between cells
3
Q
What is the third step of tissue fluid formation?
A
- Loss of fluid in blood
- Lead to fall in blood pressure
- Approaches the venule end
4
Q
What is the fourth step in tissue fluid formation?
A
- At the venule end
- Osmotic pull exceeds outward blood pressure
- Some water re-enters capillary via osmosis
- Down a conc gradient
5
Q
What is the final step of tissue fluid formation?
A
- Tissue fluids drain away from cells
- Via lymph vessels
- Returned to circulation near the heart
