The surface area of pulmonary capillaries is critical for efficient gas exchange in the lungs. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific proteins that regulate oncotic and hydrostatic pressures in this context. Participants are encouraged to conduct independent research on the surface area of pulmonary capillaries and to present their findings for peer review. The conversation highlights the necessity of self-driven inquiry before seeking assistance in scientific discussions.
PREREQUISITESStudents in biology or medicine, respiratory therapists, and researchers studying pulmonary physiology will benefit from this discussion.
You have to show your own work here before you can get help. You should be able to look up the proteins yourself and post your best attempt at explaining "how they do it," before anyone here can help check your work for you and guide you toward correct explanations if any are wrong.kevin86 said:Oh yeah can someone name all the proteins that regular oncatic and hydrostatic pressures, and how they do it.
kevin86 said:The pulmonary capilaries between the alveoli sacs handles the gas exchange right. So I was wondering how large can their surface area get.
