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.

What is a capillary stencil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A capillary stencil is a type of stencil used for screen printing. It consists of a thin mesh screen with small openings that allow ink to pass through onto a substrate. The capillary action of the stencil helps to control the flow of ink and create sharp, detailed designs.

Because net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than net outward pressure of the arteriolar ends of capillaries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than the net outward pressure in arteriolar ends of capillaries because of two main factors: the hydrostatic pressure and the osmotic pressure. In venular capillary ends, the hydrostatic pressure is reduced due to the resistance of the venous system, while the osmotic pressure remains constant. In arteriolar ends, the hydrostatic pressure is higher due to the force exerted by the heart and the osmotic pressure remains the same. As a result, more fluid is filtered out of the capillaries at the arteriolar ends than is reabsorbed at the venular ends.

Can you get such an erection that your penis blows up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it is not possible for an erection to cause a penis to "blow up." Erections occur due to increased blood flow to the penis, and while it can be uncomfortable or painful if it lasts for an extended period of time, it does not cause the penis to explode. If you are experiencing pain or concerns about your erection, it is best to consult a medical professional.

What is the explanation for the process of capillary exchange?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Capillary exchange is the process by which substances, such as oxygen and nutrients, are exchanged between the blood in capillaries and the surrounding tissues. This occurs through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. The exchange is driven by a concentration gradient and the movement of substances across the capillary wall is regulated by small pores called fenestrations and by the presence of transport proteins.

Which pressure is in excess and causes fluids to move from A to C?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Through oncotic pressure the body is able to hold water in the bloodstream. If this excess in pressure decreases, from conditions like liver disease, water will leak into surrounding organs and tissues preventing it from moving from point a to point c.

What does the pulmonary capillary do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The blood cells carry carbon dioxide to the lungs which, through the mechanism of breathing, gaseous exchange takes place with the carbon dioxide leaving the body while someone breathes out. When they breathe in again, the blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries get loaded with oxygen and the new oxygen rich blood goes to the heart to be sent around the body.

yes lymph capillaries hav semilunar valves

What causes oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to leave the capillaries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Oxygen and carbon dioxide get into and out of cells via diffusion. The gases diffuse across the thin capillary wall, and then diffuse across the cell membrane.

What are the capillaries inside of the villi what purpose do they serve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The nutrients that are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine get absorbed by the capillary network within the villi and they will come together to form the hepatic portal vein that goes directly to the liver for processing.
