What else can I help you with?
What structure is microscopic blood vessels that are only one cell in thickness?
capillaries
Which structure is a tiny ball of capillaries?
glomerulus
What structure has the lowest blood pressure in the systemic circulation?
in the capillaries
What structure do RBCs move through single file?
capillaries
Structure of the pulmonary capillaries?
They have a thin basement membrane and an endothelial layer. The space between capillaries and gas in alveoli is very little.
What is the structure of microcirculation?
Microcirulation consists of terminal arterioles connected to capillaries. The capillaries are connected to post-capillary venules which are connected to the veins,
Which structure contains the capillaries responsible for filtering blood into the nephron?
The glomerulous
What is the structure of wall of capillaries?
very thin, often a cell thick
What body structure does not contain capillaries?
Cartilages and epithelial cells
How is the structure of the malpighian body adapted for ultrafiltration?
The structure of the malpighian body includes a network of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's capsule. This structure is adapted for ultrafiltration due to the small pores in the capillaries that allow small molecules to pass through while blocking larger ones, and the high pressure in the capillaries that forces fluid and solutes into Bowman's capsule.
When the renal artery branches it and sends a knot of capillaries into what structure?
The Bowman's Capsule
What is the vascular structure that empties blood into the venules and eventually into the renal vein?
Peritubular capillaries
