The total oncotic pressure of an average capillary is about 28 mmHg with albumin contributing approximately 22 mmHg of this oncotic pressure, despite only representing 50% of all protein in blood plasma at 35-50 g/L. [6] [7] Because blood proteins cannot escape through capillary endothelium, oncotic pressure of capillary beds tends to draw ...
Typical values for the viscosity of normal human plasma at 37 °C is 1.4 mN·s/m 2. [3] The viscosity of normal plasma varies with temperature in the same way as does that of its solvent water [ 4 ] ;a 3°C change in temperature in the physiological range (36.5°C to 39.5°C)reduces plasma viscosity by about 10%.
Approximate Normal Value [11] [12] P c: Capillary hydrostatic pressure P c = 0.2 × Arterial Pressure + Venous Pressure 1.2 25mmHg (arteriolar end) 10mmHg (venous end) P i: Tissue interstitial pressure Determined by the compliance of tissue Compliance = volume/Δ pressure Varies by location ≅ −6 mmHg Π c: Capillary oncotic pressure
Capillaroscopy has been used to visualize capillaries in the skin in 2D, and has been reported to observe an average range of capillary pressure of 10.5 to 22.5 mmHg in humans, and an increase in pressure among people with type 1 diabetes and hypertension. Relative to other components of the circulatory system, capillary pressure is low, as to ...
The Starling equation is the first of two Kedem–Katchalski equations which bring nonsteady state thermodynamics to the theory of osmotic pressure across membranes that are at least partly permeable to the solute responsible for the osmotic pressure difference. [2] [3] The second Kedem–Katchalsky equation explains the trans endothelial ...
A reference range is usually defined as the set of values 95 percent of the normal population falls within (that is, 95% prediction interval). [2] It is determined by collecting data from vast numbers of laboratory tests.

Anatomy and physiology is different in infants and children than adults and vary with age, which produces normal ranges for electrocardiograms. [26] Capillary refill is used across the lifespan as a cardiovascular assessment parameter because it is a non-invasive, quick test to help determine blood flow to the tissues.
