The difference between continuous capillaries and fenestrated capillaries?
Continous capillaries contain tight junctions and are less "leaky " than fenestrated capillaries. They only allow the movement of water and small ions, whereas fenestrated capillaries contain many fenestrae or pores and allow many molecules with the exception of medium and large proteins to pass
The most permeable capillaries are those exhibiting what?
Fenestrated capillaries
Capillaries that have a incomplete lining are called?
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
Are fenestrated capillaries in the brain?
no. continuous capillaries form the blood/brain barrier.
What type capillaries make up the glomerulus?
fenestrated
What type of capillaries make up the glomerulus?
glomerular
What are the three capillaries?
Continuous-Fenestrated-Sinusoids Capillaries D.
What can be said about the endothelium of fenestrated capillaries?
the endothelial cells have pores (windows) to allow rapid movement of solutes and water.
Is fenestrated endothilium of capillaries part of filtration membrane?
Yes, the fenestrated endothelium of capillaries, along with the basement membrane and filtration slits in podocytes in the kidney, make up the filtration membrane responsible for the filtration of blood in the glomerulus. The fenestrations in the endothelium allow for the passage of small molecules and fluids.
what vessel is most permeable?
The most permeable vessels in the body are the capillaries, particularly the fenestrated and sinusoidal types. Fenestrated capillaries have small pores that allow for increased permeability to small molecules and water, while sinusoidal capillaries have larger openings that facilitate the passage of larger proteins and cells. This high permeability is crucial for processes such as nutrient exchange and immune responses in tissues.
Does the renal corpuscle have a fenestrated capillary?
Yes, the renal corpuscle contains fenestrated capillaries. These specialized capillaries, known as glomerular capillaries, have small pores that allow for the filtration of blood while retaining larger molecules like proteins and cells. This structure is crucial for the kidney's filtration process, enabling the formation of urine while maintaining the necessary balance of substances in the blood.
Where are fenestrated capillaries?
Choroid plexusEndocrine organsKidneysIntestinal tract5.Liver6.Adrenal gland7.Pituitary (hypothalamic-pituitary portal system)
