| 1. | Consequently, the intravascular oncotic pressure reduces relative to the interstitial tissue.
|
| 2. | The oncotic pressure on glomerular capillaries is one of the forces that resist filtration.
|
| 3. | The difference in the COP of the blood and tissue is called the oncotic pressure.
|
| 4. | This provides an oncotic pressure for ions to enter the vasa recta from the interstitium.
|
| 5. | Both these effects decrease the contribution of the oncotic pressure gradient to the net driving force.
|
| 6. | Because hydrostatic pressures in the tubules, interstitium and peritubular capillaries are normally equivalent, oncotic pressures govern flow.
|
| 7. | Because blood proteins cannot escape through capillary endothelium, oncotic pressure of capillary beds tends to draw water into the vessels.
|
| 8. | The oncotic pressure is in direct opposition with the hydrostatic pressure and tends to draw water back into the capillary by osmosis.
|
| 9. | The total oncotic pressure of an average capillary is about 28 mmHg with albumin contributing approximately 22 mmHg of this oncotic pressure.
|
| 10. | The total oncotic pressure of an average capillary is about 28 mmHg with albumin contributing approximately 22 mmHg of this oncotic pressure.
