What else can I help you with?
Is the diameter of the lumen larger in arteries or in capillaries?
Arteries have the largest diameter, then arterioles, and last, capillaries.
Do capillaries leak out 1.5mL of fluid a minute?
I just had the question "Every minute, about 1.5mL of fluid leaks out of the capillaries" on a true/false quiz and the answer was true.
How do you measure diameter?
Internal diameter.
How do you measure hose diameter?
Internal diameter.
Do capillaries collapse when empty?
Yes, capillaries can collapse when they are empty. Unlike larger blood vessels that have more structural support, capillaries are thin-walled and rely on the pressure of blood to keep them open. When blood flow decreases or ceases, the lack of internal pressure can cause the capillary walls to collapse, thereby reducing their diameter and potentially affecting tissue perfusion.
What smallest blood vessels only one cell thick?
The thin walled blood vessels are called capillaries.
What happens to the capillary if the diameter of tube is changes?
the capillaries help you breath
Why are capillaries thick?
Capillaries are not thick. They are extremely thin. They are of approximately 5-20 micrometers in diameter. They are the thinnest blood vessels in the body
What are the minute air sacs of the lungs that contain millions of capillaries are?
alveoli
How it can be that peripheral resistance is least in the capillaries when a capillary has the smallest diameter of any blood vessels?
Becuase the resistance is spread across thousands of capillaries.
What are the minute blood vessels that connect to the arteries the veins in the human body?
capillaries
What are minute vessels that collect blood from the capillaries and join to form veins?
venules
