Capillaries
The smallest vessels in the circulatory system that are located within the tissues of the body, they transfer blood from the arteries, through the tissues to drop of nutrients and pick up waste and back to the veins.

Where are the capillaries in the excretory system?
The capillaries in the excretory (urinary) system are called glomeruli. They filter out waste out of the blood through a series of fenestrations (holes), basement membrane and podocytes which have long thin fingers that keep the larger molecules from escaping.
What type of pressure causes water to exit from the arterial side of the capillary?
I've been seeing the answer as "hydrostatic pressure" on other websites, but I am pretty sure it is Blood Pressure. I hope I was able to help :/
How does osmosis determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial fluid?
Fluid enters the lymphatic system (this system returns fluid and proteins to blood) by diffusing into lymph capillaries. This fluid is now called lymph and is kind of like interstitial fluid in composition. This movement of fluid is determined by net balance. It only diffuses into the capillaries if there isn't enough fluid there to begin with.

When empty an artery is more likely to be collapsed than a vein?
No. A vein is more likely to collapse.
no
How do capillaries help control the amount of heat lost from the body?
They dilate at the surface of the skin to release heat into the atmosphere, and they can also constrict to reduce heat loss through the skin.
What happens to oxygen at the pulmonary capillaries?
The blood returning to the heart after delivering its load of oxygen is deoxygenated, but it is still carrying 75% of its full capacity. When this deoxygentated blood is pumped to the lungs and into the pulmonary capillaries, it meets oxygen rich air that has been inhaled. And, in tiny sacks called alveoli, the gas exchange occurs where carbon-dioxide is diffused into the air in the alveoli, and the oxygen is replenished back to 100% capacity so it can be pumped throughout the body tissues.
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis
What is the oxygen content of blood in capillaries?
Hi im bob and the answer is 4cm3455465x32 this is due to the high blood pressure
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in your body. They are part of the micro circulation. Even though they are very small, they enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and lots more nutrients and waste products between blood and surrounding tissues.
Term for flow of blood through an organ?
The term perfusion is used to indicate the flow of blood by means of vessels of an organ. It is the movement of the blood through the blood streams.
What causes red capillaries to burst on ankles?
CVI chronic venous Insufficiency also called spider veins, or Telangiectasias-can be caused by developmental abnormalities. This is often treated with laser or IPL therapy. There have been medication based treatments available for over 50 years. A Sclerosant medication is injected into the diseased vein so it hardens and eventually shrinks away.
Precapillary sphincters
What does the capillary body of the eye do?
There is no capillary body in eye , but a cilliary body is present in eye .
Which fingers should be used for dermal puncture to obtain capillary blood specimens?
For dermal puncture to obtain capillary blood specimens, the recommended fingers are typically the middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand. These fingers have adequate blood supply and are less likely to be calloused compared to the index finger. The puncture should be made on the side of the fingertip to minimize discomfort and maximize blood flow. In infants, the heel is often used for this procedure.
