diffusion

principle of diffusion

Diffusion - the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion, to areas of low concentration.

When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM

Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space.

How molecules distribute itself in microcirculation. Transfer of substances in three compartments: intracellualry and extracellularly( interstitial and intravascularly).

what creates the pressure? It is kinetic motion of of particles that exert the pressure as it collide against each other in a give compartment.

Watch and try answering some questions
