The structure of a capillary, characterized by its thin walls (one cell thick) and narrow diameter, facilitates the efficient exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between blood and surrounding tissues. This design allows for a large surface area relative to volume, enhancing diffusion rates. Additionally, the slow blood flow through capillaries provides ample time for these exchanges to occur effectively.
What else can I help you with?
What is the structure of a capillary?
they are one cell thick.
What structure within a capillary bed shunts blood from arteriole to venule?
Artery -> Arteriole -> Capillary -> Venule -> Vein
Describe two wys in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function?
Two ways in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function is to encourage the exchange of oxygen. Another reason is to encourage the exchange of carbon dioxide.
Which structure is a Microscopic blood vessels with one cell thickness?
Capillary
How does the structure of a leaf help with transpiration?
Increasing surface area via capillary action
What is construction of capillary viscometer?
A capillary viscometer is constructed from glass. Glass blowers make different styles of capillary viscometers with specific bulb and capillary diameters. These dimension determine the viscosity range of liquids which can be tested.
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
Capillary structure is uniquely adapted for exchange processes because?
they allow two-way flow
The structure of a capillary wall differs from that of vein or artery because?
it has a single tunic- only the tunica interna
Why do you use a new capillary tube for melting point determination each time?
It is not easy to be cleaned inside.
What forces make possible the movement of plant sap?
capillary action
