What is the living barrier between capillaries and neurons?
This is known as an astrocyte
What membrane is the extremely thin barrier between the alveoli and the capillaries?
respiratory membrane
Star-shaped neuroglial cell between the neurons and blood vessels?
Astrocytes are star-shaped neuroglia that form the blood brain barrier between blood vessels and neurons.
Certain capillaries in the brain including the choroid plexus do not have spaces between the cells effectively creating a?
blood-brain barrier (!)
What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?
Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
High level chlorine exposures might cause breakdown of the barrier between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries?
Air sacs; blood vessels that surround the air sacs
Where are the capillaries place at?
The capillaries are in between the red and blue veins :)
The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin occurs in the?
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
Are lymphatic capillaries permeable to proteins?
Lymphatic capillaries are dead-end vessels interspersed between the vascular capillaries. They lack tight junctions between endothelial cells and therefore are more permeable to proteins than are vascular capillaries.
Is a bucket a barrier?
It technically can be a barrier; a barrier between the water in the bucket and the ground.
What glial cell is responsible for the blood-brain barrier?
Here the capillaries have no gap in between them. Second and outer layer comes from the connective tissue of brain. They also have no gap between them. This effective mechanism makes, infection of brain, very less likely.
What blood vessels permit the exchange of nutrients and gases between blood and tissue?
Capillaries
