Capillaries. The diffusion of nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and wastes take place in the capillaries. If you want to be more specific, it would be the venous ends of the capillaries where carbon dioxide enters the blood.
No, the bulbous ends of astrocytes cling to capillaries.
Because it ends in "-oid," you can tell it's an adjective. It means to resemble a blood vessel.
portal system
The pressure difference between the two ends of a blood vessel is the driving force behind blood flow.
It is called the hepatic portal circulation. A portal system is a system of blood vessels that begin in capillaries and end in capillaries without passing through the heart. The hepatic portal system begins in the capillaries in the digestive tract wall and ends in the capillaries in the liver.
The hepatic portal vein. It goes from the stomach to the liver and has a capillary net at both ends.
They breathe through their nose/mouth, where oxygenated air travels down their trachea (tube to lungs) and ends up in capillaries in their lungs, where "used" (deoxygenated) blood diffuses with the new blood.
More fluid leaves the capillaries than returns.
Pulmonary veins
The net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than the net outward pressure in arteriolar ends of capillaries because of two main factors: the hydrostatic pressure and the osmotic pressure. In venular capillary ends, the hydrostatic pressure is reduced due to the resistance of the venous system, while the osmotic pressure remains constant. In arteriolar ends, the hydrostatic pressure is higher due to the force exerted by the heart and the osmotic pressure remains the same. As a result, more fluid is filtered out of the capillaries at the arteriolar ends than is reabsorbed at the venular ends.
Well you see, the respiratory and cardiovascular system work together. The oxygen moves throughout the path. It then ends up in the alveoli and sinks into the capillaries surrounding it. I think you can take it from there since the oxygen goes into the blood in the capillaries. Hope this helped!
