The lining of a capillary is called the endothelium. This thin layer of endothelial cells facilitates the exchange of substances, such as nutrients and waste, between the blood and surrounding tissues. The endothelium is crucial for maintaining vascular health and regulating blood flow.
What else can I help you with?
What is the lining of the large intestine called?
It is called intestinal lining. Simple.
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
Which term refers to the movement of white blood cells between endothelial cells lining capillary walls to enter the tissue?
Diapedesis
What must the molecules in a capillary enter before they enter the cell?
Molecules traveling within the bloodstream pass through the capillary cell wall via osmotic pressure and diffuse through the interstitial fluid before encountering the tissue cell wall.
What is the tendency of a liquid to rise in a small diameter tube called?
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
What is the tissue lining the uterus called?
The lining of the uterine cavity is called the "endometrium". It consists of the functional endometrium and the basal endometrium from which the former arises
What is the beautiful lining of clam and mussel shells called?
the beautiful lining is called, mother-of-pearl
Special capillary tufts in kidneys are called?
it is the glomerulus....
What are the Layers of the respiratory membrane?
The layers of the respiratory membrane include the alveolar epithelium, the basement membrane, and the capillary endothelium. These layers are involved in facilitating the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
What three structures constitute the respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane consists of three main structures: the alveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, and the fused basement membranes of both. The alveolar epithelium is a thin layer of cells lining the alveoli, while the capillary endothelium forms the inner lining of the pulmonary capillaries. Together, these structures facilitate efficient gas exchange between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
The arteries that directly feed into the capillary beds are called?
arterioles
