What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?

How does capillary wall receive oxygen?

What can squeeze themselves through capillary walls?

What is water forced through capillary walls by?

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 does the alveolus and capillary have in common?
Thin walls to allow gases to diffuse across them
The walls of the alveoli are so thin that gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass through them by a process called?
diffusion
What provides the most important means of transfer of biochemicals through capillary walls?
Diffusion.
What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
