  2. Starling equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling_equation

    The rate at which fluid is filtered across vascular endothelium (transendothelial filtration) is determined by the sum of two outward forces, capillary pressure and interstitial protein osmotic pressure (), and two absorptive forces, plasma protein osmotic pressure and interstitial pressure (). The Starling equation describes these forces in ...

  3. Ultrafiltration (kidney) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafiltration_(kidney)

    Glomerular pressure is about 75 millimeters of mercury (10 kPa). It is opposed by osmotic pressure (30 mmHg, 4.0 kPa) and hydrostatic pressure (20 mmHg, 2.7 kPa) of solutes present in capsular space. This difference in pressure is called effective pressure (25 mmHg, 3.3 kPa).

  4. Osmotic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_pressure

    In animal cells excessive osmotic pressure can result in cytolysis due to the absence of a cell wall. Osmotic pressure is the basis of filtering ("reverse osmosis"), a process commonly used in water purification. The water to be purified is placed in a chamber and put under an amount of pressure greater than the osmotic pressure exerted by the ...

  5. Medical College Admission Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_College_Admission_Test

    The test consists of four sections, each scored from 118 to 132 with a median score of 125. [29] The total MCAT score is a sum of the scores from each of the four sections, ranging from 472 to 528 with a median score of 500. Scores are released on a pre-determined date between 30 and 35 days after the exam date. [30]

  6. Fluid compartments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_compartments

    The average volume of plasma in the average (70-kilogram or 150-pound) male is approximately 3.5 liters (0.77 imp gal; 0.92 U.S. gal). The volume of the intravascular compartment is regulated in part by hydrostatic pressure gradients, and by reabsorption by the kidneys.

  7. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    p is the hydrostatic pressure (Pa), ρ is the fluid density (kg/m 3), g is gravitational acceleration (m/s 2), z is the height (parallel to the direction of gravity) of the test area (m), 0 is the height of the zero reference point of the pressure (m) p_0 is the hydrostatic pressure field (Pa) along x and y at the zero reference point

    In the Cotton Bowl, bettors like Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith to score a TD (-125). Smith has scored two touchdowns in each of Ohio State’s two playoff games and has 13 catches for 290 yards ...

  9. Diffusiophoresis and diffusioosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusiophoresis_and_diff...

    This result is for a specific and very simple model, but it does illustrate general features of diffusioosmoisis: 1) the hydrostatic pressure is, by definition (flow induced by pressure gradients in the bulk is a common but separate physical phenomenon) uniform in the bulk, but there is a gradient in the pressure in the interface, 2) this ...
