Name two parts of the blood that can pass through the capillary walls?

Two parts of the blood that can pass through the capillary walls are plasma and white blood cells. Plasma, the liquid component of blood, contains water, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, allowing for exchange with surrounding tissues. White blood cells can migrate through capillary walls to reach sites of infection or inflammation as part of the immune response.

What is a capillary stencil?

A capillary stencil is a type of stencil used for screen printing. It consists of a thin mesh screen with small openings that allow ink to pass through onto a substrate. The capillary action of the stencil helps to control the flow of ink and create sharp, detailed designs.


What is a holes in plasma membrane through which molecules pass across capillary wall?

The plasma membrane is made up of a lipid bilayer and some proteins. The transmembrane proteins are the structures which are involved in the transport of molecules in or through the cell.
