Yes, Diapedesis is a process by which "white blood cells" escape from the capillaries into the tissue spaces, but not RBCs and Platlets.

What is the main function of the capillaries?
Capillaries are one-cell wide blood vessels. They allow intimate close-contact with muscle and other body cells with red blood cells. It is in capillaries that oxygen exchange occurs. In close contact with muscular myoglobin, adult hemoglobin releases its oxygen and myoglobin picks it up.
Why is the glomerular capillary bed unusual?
unlike other capillaries glomerulus is connected to arterioles on both sides.It's pressure is higher than that of other capillaries and remains almost constant throughout the length of the capillaries.
Are lymphatic capillaries permeable to proteins?
Lymphatic capillaries are dead-end vessels interspersed between the vascular capillaries. They lack tight junctions between endothelial cells and therefore are more permeable to proteins than are vascular capillaries.
Anatomical adaptations which enable lymphatic capillaries to absorb tissue fluid?
like blood capillaries, their wall consists of a single layer of endothelial cells. Their permeability results from the structure and arrangement of the endothelial cells:they have few intercellular junctions, and the edges of adjacent cells overlap, filaments anchor the endothelial cells to the surrounding connective tissue. as a result, any increase in the volume of in the wall and allowing the fluid to enter. :)
What type of tissue makes up the endothelium of capillaries?
Single layer of Simple Squamous Epithelium
The capillaries of what reabsorb cerebral spinal fluid?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is resorbed via the arachnoid villi and granulations within the subarachnoid space would be, I think, the best answer. Arachnoid fibers extend down within the subarachnoid space to attach to the pia mater. However, according to Afifi et al, in Functional Neuroanatomy, although arachnoid fibers appear to constitute the primarysites for CSF resorption, alternative sites can include: adventitia of leptomeningeal blood vessels, cranial and spinal nerve root sleeves, capillary endothelium, choroid plexus, leptomeningeal vessels, perineural sheaths of cranial and spinal nerves, and, ependyma of the ventricles.

Glucose and Amino acids because as the concentration of other waste products like urea and CO2 decreases so the CONCENTRATION of glucose and amino acids will increase.
NOTE: Only the concentration will increase, that does not mean that their amount also increases
false- osmotic pressure draws water in capillaries
hydrostatic pressure forces water out
What is a holes in plasma membrane through which molecules pass across capillary wall?
The plasma membrane is made up of a lipid bilayer and some proteins. The transmembrane proteins are the structures which are involved in the transport of molecules in or through the cell.
Why and how blood flow to the capillaries in your finders might be limited when you are cold?
Vasoconstriction, the tightening/narrowing of blood vessel diameter, is the "how" blood flow is limited when it's cold. The "why" deals mainly with your body attempting to keep its core warm. So anything around your heart mainly. Therefore, all extremities get less blood.
Are Capillaries visible to the naked eye?
Capillaries can not be seen by the naked eye, because they are Microscopic. furthermore Capillaries can only be seen through a microscope and appear like a tube made up of a single layer of cell
What makes oxygen pass into the capillaries that surround these sacs?
Diffusion. O2 moves from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
yes
What do sphincters in capillary beds do?
They can control gas exchange in the tissues. When they are constricted, there is almost complete no gas exchange. The blood just bypasses the tissues.
What enters the capillaries that passes through the lugns?
blood, at first it is deoxygenated but by the time it leaves the lungs it is full of dissolved oxygen
What small structure in the lung is the site of oxygen exchange with blood capillaries?
The alveolus or alveoli (plural).
