What else can I help you with?
How many square mile do capillaries cover in our bodies?

Which part of the nephron consists of a knot of capillaries?

What are blood capillaries?
The smallest blood vessels where the blood gets to interact with the bodies tissues.
Capillaries that have a incomplete lining are called?
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
Why are there so many capillaries in your bodies?
This is really a biology question.The general gist of it is that every cell in your body needs nutrients and oxygen, and give off waste products and carbon dioxide. Imagine making a flat sheet of cells (pack them in real tight for efficiency). The area of that sheet would be an estimate for the number of square miles of capillaries needed to feed them all.Another way of estimating is think of slicing your body into sheets that are as thick as one cell, see how many sheets that would be, and multiplying by the area of that cross-section. This would be a rough estimate (very very rough) but it might be fun.
What blood vessels surround the aveoli?
Capillaries The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
What structures connect the smallest arteries with the smallest veins?
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
What feeds the capillaries?
Arteries "feed" the capillaries while veins drain the capillaries.
Which veins open up into the capillaries?
plmonary veins begin as capillaries and end as capillaries
What are called leaky capillaries found in he one marrow?
Sinusoidal Capillaries
