Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.
Simple diffusion.
Capillaries.
Oxygen enter the capillaries by diffusion due to difference in oxygen concentrations.
Substances typically move across capillaries via diffusion.
diffusion
Slow blood flow in the capillaries helps increase the efficiency of diffusion. The thin capillary wall also helps with diffusion.
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
Diffusion, Filtration, and Osmosis
Diffusion through capillaries
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround the alveoli. The thin walls of the capillaries make this diffusion easier.
liquid can leak in and out of capillaries, and arteries and veins have such thick walls, and their jobs are just to bring blood to and from the heart. NO need for diffusion in these.
No. There are essentially three different capillaries that differ in the rate of diffusion.
