What is the process by which gases move in and out through the capillary walls?
Diffusion ;)
What provides the most important means of transfer of biochemicals through capillary walls?
Diffusion.
What blood vessel exchanges substances with a nephron?
Capillary. The thin walls allow diffusion of materials to pass from the blood flow into the nephron.
How does capillary wall receive oxygen?
Capillary walls receive oxygen in the lungs by a process known as diffusion.
What does the thinnest of the capillary walls allow?
only metabolic wastes out of the capillary
Can protein bound drugs pass easily through capillary walls?
Yes the proteins allow them to travel easily.
What blood vessel allow diffusion?
The capillaries allow diffusion of nutrients, waste, and oxygen through their walls, which are one cell thick. This diffusion allows transportation of nutrients and waste materials throughout the body.
Why are the capillary walls thinnest?
to allow gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
Why does capillary have thin walls?
The capillary walls are the thinnest blood vessels to allow the exchange of materials.Capillary walls only have a single layer of endothelial cells (the flattened layer of cells that line the closed spaces in the body). This is unlike the arteries and veins which have multiple layers such as smooth muscle, elastin, and connective tissues. The thin walls allow for oxygen and waste products (such as carbon dioxide) to diffuse between the tissues and blood.
What can squeeze themselves through capillary walls?
neutrophils
What is water forced through capillary walls by?
Osmosis
What is the movement of leukocytes through capillary walls?
diapedesis
