3 Questions
Which type of molecules can pass through the endothelium via simple diffusion?
Small hydrophobic molecules
What determines the selective movement of molecules from the blood to the tissues and vice versa?
The size and charge of the molecules
What is the function of the endothelium in relation to the selective permeability barrier?
To selectively allow the movement of small and large molecules
"Test Your Knowledge on Endothelial Permeability: Understanding Movement of Molecules" - Take this quiz to assess your understanding of how small and large molecules move through the selective permeability barrier of the endothelium. Explore the factors that influence the movement of molecules and their relationship with the size and charge of the molecules. Use this opportunity to enhance your knowledge of the permeability of the endothelium to small hydrophobic molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide.
