What process drives the transfer of carbon dioxide from tissue cells to blood? a. diffusion b. osmosis c. the enzyme carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide to carbonic acid which is transported out of tissue cells d. active transport True or False: Open circulatory systems rely entirely on diffusion and have no vessels or pumping muscles of any kind. Select one: True False Match the components of a closed circulatory system with their description Artery High pressure vessels that carry blood away from the heart Capillary Thin vessels that allow red blood cells to pass through one at a ti Vein Low pressure vessels that carry blood to the heart How does fluid "leak" out of capillaries into the interstitial space? a. Osmosis causes fluid to flow from areas of high to low concentration. b. The capillary is punctured due to an injury or disease. c. Hydrostatic force pushes fluid out of the vessel. d. The lymphatic system regulates the flow of fluid into the interstitial space.
