Describe hemoglobin structure and function

-composed of 2 alpha chains and 2 beta chains (which are proteins composed of many amino acids) -main function- carries oxygen from lungs to tissues then transports CO2 back from the tissues to the lungs.

Describe hydrostatic and osmotic pressure (oncotic)

-hydrostatic pressure is the 'pushing force', pushing the fluid out of the capillaries. It's the result of the actual pressure of the fluid on the capillary walls. -Oncotic pressure is the 'pulling force', pulling fluids from the surrounding tissue into the capillaries. It's the result of a difference in the concentration of solutes in the fluid inside the capillaries as opposed to outside them, because water will naturally seek a state of balance in the concentration of solute (particles). -Whenever hydrostatic pressure is greater than oncotic pressure, fluid will leave the capillaries, whenever the onctoic pressure is greater than the hydrostatic pressure fluid will enter the capillaries.
