Questions and Answers

relate the structure of the continuous capillary to its function?

fitted with gap junctions, endothelial cells r close to each other

exchange of water and small molecules (transport vesicles)

relate the structure of fenestrated capillaries to its function?

has pores covers with ultra thin diaphragm.

allow faster rapid molecular exchange between capillaries and tissues

permeability to larger molecules.

relate the structure of discontinuous (sinusoidal capillaries) to its function?

absence of basement membrane under endothelial cells, many large fenestrea (NO PORE)!

direct transportation from the capillary's lumen to surrounding tissue.

distinguish between the elastic and muscular artery?

<p>elastic (conducting) artery, has elastic tissue in tunica media as it accommodate high pulsatile forces. its main examples r Aorta, pulmonary trunk and its branches.</p> <p>muscular (distributing) artery, has the elastic fibre only at the intersection of the tunica intima and media , or media and externa ( doesn't have elastic fibber/tissue in tunica media as the elastic artery), instead, its tunica media is thick with smooth muscle to allow for (vasodilation and vasoconstriction) eg, major vessels arising from aorta (except major trunks and terminal branch od abdominal aorta-common iliac a).</p> Signup and view all the answers
