The blood vessel that arises from capillaries and ends in capillaries is the venule. Venules collect deoxygenated blood from capillary beds and merge to form larger veins, eventually returning blood to the heart. They play a crucial role in the microcirculation of blood, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste products.
What else can I help you with?
Carbon dioxide enters the blood at the?
Capillaries. The diffusion of nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and wastes take place in the capillaries. If you want to be more specific, it would be the venous ends of the capillaries where carbon dioxide enters the blood.
Do the bulbous ends of the axons of neurons cling to capillaries?
No, the bulbous ends of astrocytes cling to capillaries.
What part of speech is the word angioid?
Because it ends in "-oid," you can tell it's an adjective. It means to resemble a blood vessel.
What begins with capillaries in the abdominal viscera and ends with capillaries in the liver?
portal system
In the body where does the driving pressure for fluid flow come from?
The pressure difference between the two ends of a blood vessel is the driving force behind blood flow.
What is the circulatory route called that runs from the digestive tract to the liver?
It is called the hepatic portal circulation. A portal system is a system of blood vessels that begin in capillaries and end in capillaries without passing through the heart. The hepatic portal system begins in the capillaries in the digestive tract wall and ends in the capillaries in the liver.
What is the name of the vessel that takes blood away from the stomach?
The hepatic portal vein. It goes from the stomach to the liver and has a capillary net at both ends.
What happens with net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than net outward pressure at the arteriolar ends of capillaries?
More fluid leaves the capillaries than returns.
What is a medical term that ends with the medical suffix -sis?
Medical terms ending in sis generally means 'A condition of-'such as leukocytosis which means a condition of white blood cells.Bronchiectasis ends with the medical suffix -sis, as does tuberculosis and asbestosis.
What Veins in humans which ends in capillaries and not in larger veins?
Pulmonary veins
Where does alveolar gas exchange take place?
Alveolar gas exchange takes place in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs located at the ends of the bronchioles in the lungs. These structures are surrounded by a network of capillaries, allowing for the diffusion of oxygen into the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood. This exchange is facilitated by the thin walls of the alveoli and the capillaries, maximizing the surface area for gas exchange.
Because net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than net outward pressure of the arteriolar ends of capillaries?
The net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than the net outward pressure in arteriolar ends of capillaries because of two main factors: the hydrostatic pressure and the osmotic pressure. In venular capillary ends, the hydrostatic pressure is reduced due to the resistance of the venous system, while the osmotic pressure remains constant. In arteriolar ends, the hydrostatic pressure is higher due to the force exerted by the heart and the osmotic pressure remains the same. As a result, more fluid is filtered out of the capillaries at the arteriolar ends than is reabsorbed at the venular ends.
