What is the main component of the gills of a fish?
capillary beds
What are lymphatic collecting vessels most closely associated with?
Capillary beds
What occur in capillary beds?
Capillaries pick up carbon dioxide from the cells of the body and deliver oxygen.
What is the function of the capillary beds?
Exchange
What are Capillary beds fed by?
Arterioles.
Are all capillary beds continuously perfused with blood?
No
Where in the body does blood lose oxygen as it passes?
The blood losses O2 in the capillary beds that supply every cell in the body (exept the gas exchange cells in the lungs)
The arteries that directly feed into the capillary beds are called?
arterioles
The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they?
It is unique from other capillary beds in that it is supplied with and drained by arterioles, the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole, respectively.
What is the difference between arteriole and venule blood flow?
An arteriole transports oxygenated blood from the arteries to the capillary beds and a venule transports de-oxygenated blood from the capillary beds to the veins.
What happens when blood enters the lungs?
When blood enters the lungs from the heart it travels trough very fine capillary beds and gets transferred via diffusion from the alveolar sacs into the actual capillary beds. After this occurs the blood is then pumped back into the heart and distributed to the rest of the body. This is the method of adequate respiration.
