When blood capillaries flow past cells, diffusion of oxygen, wastes, and nutrients occurs. This transfer maintains cellular homeostasis.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when blood in capillaries flow the past cells?
Materials needed by the cells move from the blood into the cells, and waste materials move from the cells into the blood.
What happens when blood flows through capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is the function of macrophage?
They form part of sinusoid wall of the liver, and remove debris such as bacteria and worn out blood cells from the blood as it flows past. Also kown as Kupffer Cells
What do macrophages do?
The macrophages are defense cells that help to protect the body from debris and invaders. They stay among the white blood cells
What happens when blood in capillaries flows past cells?
The blood cells are in the capillaries and are moved along in the capillaries. Your question makes no sense.
What happen to the speed of blood as it flows through the capillaries?
This isn't a definite answer but blood probably goes slower when it travels through capillaries, this is probably because it is basically being filtered.
Ventilation perfusion coupling means that more blood flows past functional alveoli than past nonfunctional alveoli?
True.
What move materials past cells or move cells?
Blood moves materials past cells, allowing for diffusion. It also moves cells themselves to places they are needed, as with immune system cells.
What is exchange mechanism?
Penguins have a counter current heat exchange mechanism. The warm blood entering their flippers flows past cold blood leaving. This warms the cold blood and cools the warm blood thus reducing heat loss from the flippers.

What concentration is higher in the tissues than the red blood cells flowing past them causing it to diffuse into the red blood cells?
Oxygen concentration is typically higher in the tissues than in the red blood cells (RBCs) flowing past them. This concentration gradient causes oxygen to diffuse from the tissues into the RBCs, where it binds to hemoglobin for transport throughout the body. This process is essential for delivering oxygen to tissues that require it for metabolism.
Is stomach linked with uterus?
There is no direct connection between stomach and uterus. The stomach digests food, which goes past the liver, into the small intestine, into the large intestine, then the contents is excreted. Since the same blood flows all around your body, the blood used by the stomach will also be used by the uterus somewhere along the line. Stomach cells and uterine cells are quite different - the stomach is a highly acidic environment, to ensure that your food digests properly. As such, it needs specialised cells to accomplish this task. The uterus does not require cells that will withstand an acidic environment, it requires cells that have a really good blood supply, incase an embryo should end up implanted within the uterus.
