Cardiovascular System Research Paper

The blood, lymph and tissue are the 3 main types of fluid which are linked and shows importance in how the cardiovascular system works. The blood out of the 3 is the fluid that continuously gives the cells in the body the key to make it sure that its functioning that way it should.

Tissue fluid is formed when the blood plasma is forced to leave the capillary. This is because the blood from the artery will be at high pressure and this is too strong for the capillary beds to handle - this will be at the arteriolar end which was a flow that is going out. The only time the pressure lowers is when the blood plasma is making its way to another blood vessel, the vein, they do this by having to go through the capillary beds. When diffusion takes …show more content…
The walls in the capillaries contain hole/gaps and the pressure made, forces the tissue fluid to be forced out. Generally there is a net outward movement of fluids that leave the capillaries, but some fluid remain in the capillaries because there is a small hydrostatic pressure. The flow of fluids out of the capillary include glucose, oxygen, amino acids, ions, water, etc.. these materials may flow with the material because they may be the correct size/too small so they can go through the walls of the capillary. However when there is a material that is too big to go through, they will not move with the fluid and this include materials like red blood …show more content…
From the arteriolar end to the venous end, the net fluid movement will change because the fluid is moving downwards to an area with a low hydrostatic pressure.

The differences of blood, lymph and tissue fluid
The functions of the blood is to make sure the body temperature, pH and water balance of the body are kept the same all times. Another of their function is to make sure that any digested food materials, any gases involved in respiration and any unwanted waste materials are moved or forced out of the body. The structure of the blood includes plasma and other forms that include white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells and their appearance is seen as
