yes they do because histamine a cell signalling molecule. it increases the permeability in the capaillaries which in turn means that the tissue is producing more fluid and in turn causes inflamation. usually happens around the foot or hands common in the joints. it is usally very painfull and people get treatments for it ie an operation or an injection to remove the fluid or to remove the nerve around that capillary.
There are many things that "swell" in terms of biology, one of them being the blood vessels (more specifically capillaries) which swell during inflammation.
During inflammation, blood flow to the affected area increases, leading to redness and warmth. Blood vessels become more permeable, allowing plasma and immune cells to leak into the surrounding tissue, causing swelling. White blood cells migrate to the site to combat infection and facilitate healing, while chemical signals attract more immune response. This coordinated effort aims to eliminate pathogens and initiate tissue repair.
White blood corpuscles, or leukocytes, escape into the tissues at a wound primarily through small blood vessels called capillaries. During the inflammatory response, the capillary walls become more permeable, allowing these immune cells to exit the bloodstream and migrate to the site of injury or infection to aid in healing and defense against pathogens.
Capillaries increase in response to various physiological needs, primarily to enhance blood flow and improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues. This process, known as angiogenesis, occurs during growth, healing, or in response to factors like low oxygen levels, inflammation, or increased physical activity. The formation of new capillaries helps meet the metabolic demands of tissues by providing a larger surface area for exchange between blood and cells.

Pregnancy does not cause inflammation in the uterus. Inflammation of the uterus during pregnancy would serve no biological purpose.
Yes, during inflammation, lymphatic capillaries can develop openings to allow for the uptake of large particles like cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells. This process helps facilitate the removal of these harmful materials from the inflamed tissue, aiding in the body's immune response and overall healing.
Capillaries
Drugs are applied to the skin during inflammation or infection.
Oxygen is exchanged from the air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide is exchanged from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli during the process of respiration.
it is selective permeable thus allowing water to photosynthetic cells
Veins are where the blood flow is the slowest. Blood flow velocity decreases from the aorta to the arteries to capillaries.
