Capillary exchange- exchange of gases- internal or tissue respiration

∙ 13y agoWell, the capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that diverge from/to arteries and veins. The blood diffuses between them and the muscle (oxygenated blood leaving the capillaries to the muscle and de-oxygenated blood leaving the muscle to the capillaries) The diffusion happens quickly because the capillaries have one cell-thick walls so the blood can easily pass through them.
So, the capillaries allow the oxygenated blood (from the arteries) to enter the muscle whilst also removing the de-oxygenated blood (to the veins).

What is the name of the cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs?
The cluster of capillaries that in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus.
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin occurs in the?
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
Where does the exchange between blood vessels and cells occurs at the?
capillaries
Which change occurs in the body capillaries?
The Blood becomes deoxygenated
What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
Are capillaries connected to the heart?
yes capillaries are connected to heart because heart is a muscular organ and the exchange of materials between heart walls and blood occurs through capillaries.
Exchange of gases and waste materials occurs by diffusion across the walls of the?
capillaries
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs between blood in capillaries and air in?
alveolus
Exchange of gases and nutrients occurs by diffusion between the?
capillaries and tissue cells
Exchange among subdivisions of ECF occurs primarily in the?
across the endothelial lining of capillaries!!
How does bleeding occur in AP?
Purpura is a bleeding disorder that occurs when capillaries rupture, allowing small amounts of blood to accumulate in the.tissues. In AP, this occurs because the capillaries are blocked by protein complexes formed during an abnormal immune reaction
