What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?
Diapedesis
What is the movement of leukocytes through capillary walls?
diapedesis
What is water forced through capillary walls by?
Osmosis
What is the process by which gases move in and out through the capillary walls?
Diffusion ;)
How does the red blood cells help the cell carry out its function?
the dip creates a larger surface area, meaning more oxygen can be transported. it also means the cell is more flexible and can squeeze through capillary walls.
How are glucose and oxygen passed from the blood through the capillary walls to the cells?
Glucose and oxygen are transported from the blood to cells through capillary walls by a process called diffusion. The concentration gradient between the blood and the cells allows these molecules to passively move across the capillary walls. Once inside the cells, glucose and oxygen are used for energy production through cellular respiration.
What provides the most important means of transfer of biochemicals through capillary walls?
Diffusion.
Name two parts of the blood that can pass through the capillary walls?
Two parts of the blood that can pass through the capillary walls are plasma and white blood cells. Plasma, the liquid component of blood, contains water, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, allowing for exchange with surrounding tissues. White blood cells can migrate through capillary walls to reach sites of infection or inflammation as part of the immune response.
What property of wbc allows them to squeeze through walls?
Flexibility, mutable shape.
The process by which neutrophils are squeezed through the capillary walls during the inflammatory process is called?
diapedesis
What is the ability to move through inter-cellular spaces of the capillary walls to the surrounding tissues?
Diapedesis
What does the thinnest of the capillary walls allow?
only metabolic wastes out of the capillary
