Hydrostatic Versus Oncotic Pressure

An introduction on the difference between oncotic and hydrostatic pressure.

[@TheAncientScholar]

Thanks again for the comments everybody. I am glad this video appears to be helping so many people out.

[@TheAncientScholar]

Thanks everybody! I'm glad people are finding this video helpful. Feel free to reference this site if it will help with assignments.

The Lord God meet you at your weaknesses, as you have met us in ours! Thank you, so much!

[@laurenashley7900]

Great video and so helpful! Your balloon analogy was helpful. Thanks, from a nursing student.

[@annalattos4735]

great video!

[@panchitoborja]

Certainly it's truly an extraordinary lecture! I had a lot of confusion between these two pressures. I am very grateful!! I am studying pleural effusion and this made me understand a lot better the pathophysiology of that disease. Greetings from Guayaquil, Ecuador

[@grantlaham8351]

Thank you for posting this! I kept missing practice questions for my national board dental exam on edema...but this cleared up my confusion. :)

[@gibanica4854]

Thanks! Was struggling to grasp the concept of why fluid was accumulating in this interstitial space due low oncotic pressure. I understand now. I guess this means that increased hydrostatic pressure will also cause this fluid accumulation?

[@tiggercrazy87]

Amazing video, shared and referenced!!

[@katiexxsayss]

Finally a video that actually EXPLAINS! Thank you so much. Just what I was looking for.

100% true

[@johnryan882]

Taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 - this video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

[@robertbartles6290]

Far too "wordy". Get to the point(s) and stay with the point(s). Your thoughts meander and distract you, thus distracting the student(s).

[@gobinathks5123]

great video.......really explainative and understandable !!!!!!!!!!!!! keepp rocking

[@grubbymanz3928]

but how is hydrostatic pressure caused by gravity? I get the lateral pressure against the walls from fluid flow, but why do explanations credit this pressure with being related to gravity?

[@markyounger1240]

Gravity causes water to accelerate toward the center of mass (earth) that is how water towers work. That is why edema tends to be more in legs.

The video is good and fine but if there is an some animation and edits its a video of extraordinary. Think about it🙄🙄🙄

[@noelanni]

Thank you so much, fantastic explanation!!!!!

[@alexforever6171]

Wow so perfectly stated! Thank you 😊

[@godfreytuitama5712]

Hi there mate, is it ok if i use this website as a reference on my assignment(s) please?

[@hiKrittiya]

excellent explanation. Thank you so much!

[@aj_3894]

literally went through multiple videos and I kept clicking off. Even after 6 years, this video helped my understanding sooooo much .

[@brendaestrada5315]

Awesome video! Helped me so much!!!!

[@chioveanustefania3186]

hello ..i have a question ..why hidrostatic pressure influence the return of venous blood ? i don't understand the link beetwen them ..thank you

[@nanochan1168]

thank you ...you are a great help to me 💐

[@UntilWeGotCaught]

LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU

[@revdcdon970]

This may be a stupid question, but here goes. When a napkin is placed in a glass of liquid (water) osmosis or oncotic pressure is caused, beginning a continuous pressure. When the liquid gets to the ends of the napkin, does gradient pressure cause the liquid to leave the napkin? And, in this case, does the height of the end of the napkin in the glass opposed to the end of the napkin on the exterior have a syphon effect, which would be the differential of the force gravitational attraction (negative pressure)? Like I said, this being basic physics have anything to do with either or both types of pressure.? tia

[@kimberlyfisher9687]

Wonderful video!!! Thanks for the easy to understand explanation!

[@AlexTarazona]

Thank you so much, my teacher did not explain it like you did. To bad I got it after the quiz. But I get it now.

[@chefzak6505]

Finally. Thank you!

[@christieamos5863]

Thank you so much! You explained this so well, and now I have a much better understanding!

[@redroma04]

Tx so much! Im taking Biochem and this video is gold! Thumbs up :D

[@SuprSilvr]

Thanks so much. This has been a concept I struggled with a bit, but you cleared it up a lot.

[@maryamsediqi3625]

Thanks in advance

[@kirubaravichandran6274]

sir you really taught well.I need a great teacher like you.keep uploading videos sir.this is my humble request

[@bodycareforhealth8656]

this helped tremendously, clear explanation using pictures. thank you

[@BicMacAndChips1]

couldnt understand this topic for the life of me but this video cleared it all up in 13 mins! Thanks a lot for the help!

[@kavitheshwarim03120]

Useful video

[@watufakaaaaaa]

Thanks so much. I have not understood this concept since A&P, and that was 4 years ago.

[@FEATHERMAN11485]

Very nice Video!

[@binshinaahussein1726]

شكرا

[@hoangthiaivan4774]

thanks a lot!

[@jessedddd]

Very helpful for my med trauma class, thank you

[@_molamola]

Finally understand what is oncotic pressure now, thanks!

[@sarabolivar2675]

Great video. Really clarified the concepts!

[@godfreytuitama5712]

great site by the way....very helpful, thank you :)

[@joelmathew9095]

TAS- WHATS MORE IMPORTANT IN HBP, TO BE LOOKING AT THE ONCOTIC OR THE HYDROSTATIC

[@brandijanelle27]

So much clarity. Thanks!!

[@unrivaled37]

Thank u so much this was very helpful!! -A medical student from El Salvador :)

[@TheAncientScholar]

You are welcome. I am glad you found this video helpful.

[@mahirahmariam]

This video is really helpful and very well explained.

[@chelzajalapadan9585]

this is great! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@makaylawilson9669]

This was wonderful!! Thank you so much!

[@iDeathH3LLZ]

Great explanation. Thank you!

[@HallieIzzle]

Thanks a lot, the visual really helped.

[@katrinamcnally2495]

Great video! Thank you!

[@appleheadaddie]

Cleared that up! Thanks!

[@tomaskvapil]

Thanks, but pressure doesn't have direction though :)

[@TheAncientScholar]

Indeed. While pressure does not act in any preferential direction, a pressure gradient does have a direction. Hopefully that clarified things a bit better. Thanks!

[@78Gringita]

This was awesome!!! Thank you!

[@cuteL0Lcubby]

Thank you my good sir 🙌
