What is the relationship between the density of the capillary network and the metabolic activity of the tissue?
What is the relationship between the density of the capillary network and the metabolic activity of the tissue?
- The higher the density of the capillary network, the higher the metabolic activity of the tissue (correct)
- The density of the capillary network has no relationship with the metabolic activity of the tissue
- The lower the density of the capillary network, the higher the metabolic activity of the tissue
- The higher the density of the capillary network, the lower the metabolic activity of the tissue
