The Capillaries and the Net Filtration Pressure
Typically, capillary bed is a network of veins that serve a particular organ. They play an integral role in the function ability of organs and the body in general. For example, they enable easy transportation of nutrients and oxygen to different body organs and facilitate a smooth path for removing metabolic waste. These blood vessels also help in the transportation of hormones. Essentially, blood plasma contains at least 55% of blood and 90% water, and the amino acids' solubility determines the speed of infiltration in the venules (University of Minnesota, 2020).
Moreover, amino acids, glucose, and calcium, among other minerals, enter an organ through diffusion or intercellular clefts. Notably, amino acids are soluble in water, and since plasma contains 90% of water, it is easy for amino acids to leave the blood on the arterial end. Essentially, the...
