Approximately what percent of fluid that exits the capillaries at the arterial end reenters the capillaries at the venous end? Multiple Choice 90% 100% 70% 80% 60%
Added by Sara K.
Step 1
At the arterial end of a capillary, fluid is pushed out into the interstitial space due to higher hydrostatic pressure. At the venous end, some of this fluid is reabsorbed back into the capillaries due to higher osmotic pressure. Show more…

Nearly how much percent of the filtrate is reabsorbed by the renal tubules? (a) $70-80 \%$ (b) $85 \%$ (c) $99 \%$ (d) $90 \%$
(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is $10.0 \mathrm{cm}^{2},$ what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0$\mu \mathrm{m} ?$
