What is it called when blood leaks out of capillaries?
it means its dying
Are capillaries a part of the cardiovascular system?
Yes. "Vascular" means: of, relating to, affecting, or consisting of blood vessels, and of course capillaries are blood vessels. "Cardio-" refers to the heart.
How do white blood cells move out of the capillaries?
by means o chorva
What is blood carried in?
Haemoglobin, oxygen, and iron are carried by blood cells.
Do capillaries constrict and dilate?
No. They are vessels composed of epithelial cells (endothelium) which contain no contractile material. However, at their site of origin they contain sphincters (precapillary sphincters) that controls the flow of blood that enters the capillaries.
Can your nipples become bruised?
Any part of your body that has capillaries may get bruised. When you bruise, that means that your blood vessels burst. If your capillaries in your nipples rupture, you can get bruising.
What organ systems are interacting in the fish?
the water enters threw the gills oxygen from the water passes threw a thin membrane and into the blood stream carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the water in the gills so that means that the circulation system and the resportory system are working together
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
Why is soil warmer than water?
It is because soil have some capillaries, which contains the air & air is bad conductor of heat, so it is warmer, means disallow the flow of heat. whereas in case of water no capillaries are there.
Why does blood need to pass through the capillaries in the small intestine?
Blood passes through capillaries as a means of either passing products to the cells or picking up things from the cells. The small intestine is where most digestion takes place so the capillaries pick up digested material to take to the liver via the portal system. The digested fat is picked up by the lymph capillaries, lacteals, which returns to the blood when the lymph connects to the right and left subclavians.
Once pollution enters the ground water there is not an effective means of removing it?
false
What would happen if you didnt have capillaries?
If we didn't have capillaries, we would die. This is because CAPILLARIES are the passageways between the arteries (carrying oxygen- rich blood AWAY from the heart) and the Veins (carrying oxygen- poor blood back INto the heart). Capillaries come in close contact with the body's organs. They exchange their oxygen- rich blood (provided by the arteries) with the organ's oxygen- poor blood (containing carbon dioxide). Thus, the body's organ supply of oxygen- rich blood is replenished. Then, the capillaries give their oxygen- poor blood (from the organs) to the Veins, which bring the blood back to the heart, so it can be filled with oxygen again. It's all a big cycle, and our capillaries play a big role in this cycle. The heart, blood, and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and CAPILLARIES) are all a part of the amazing Cardiovascular System! (Also known as Circulatory system) We really need those Capillaries !! So... What would happen, you ask? Well, the blood in the arteries an the blood in the veins would mix. That is very bad. Our body could not survive if oxygen-rich blood and oxygen- poor blood mixed. We have the capillaries to ensure they never interact!!
