What else can I help you with?
Strength of arterial and capillary walls?
The arterial and capillary walls are incredibly strong. This is true otherwise you would be bleeding just by tapping yourself.
What does the thinnest of the capillary walls allow?
only metabolic wastes out of the capillary
How do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures?
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries.

What do you call the expansion and contraction of the arterial walls that can be felt in all the arteries near the surface of the skin?
The expansion and contraction of the arterial walls is the pulse.
Plaque on the arterial walls is characteristic of?
atherosclerosis.
What are the common problems about capillary?
they have skinny walls
How may layers do Capillary walls have?
500
What is the stretching of the arterial walls called?
The stretching of the arterial walls is called arterial dilation or vasodilation. This process occurs when the smooth muscle in the arterial walls relaxes, allowing the blood vessels to widen and increase blood flow. It is a crucial mechanism for regulating blood pressure and ensuring adequate perfusion to various tissues in the body. Factors such as increased blood flow, hormonal signals, and certain medications can trigger arterial dilation.
How does capillary wall receive oxygen?
Capillary walls receive oxygen in the lungs by a process known as diffusion.
What can squeeze themselves through capillary walls?
neutrophils
What is the movement of leukocytes through capillary walls?
diapedesis
What is water forced through capillary walls by?
Osmosis
