Describe the structure of respiratory membrane?
there is a aveolar wall, capillary wall, sqamous epithelium tissue, and blood inside the walls.
Describe two wys in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function?
Two ways in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function is to encourage the exchange of oxygen. Another reason is to encourage the exchange of carbon dioxide.
The structure of a capillary wall differs from that of vein or artery because?
it has a single tunic- only the tunica interna
How is the wall of a capillary suited for the exchange of materials in tissues?
The wall of a capillary is extremely thin.
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
From what does capillary cell wall receives blood?
The capillary cell wall receives blood from the interstitial fluid.
What is the structure of a capillary?
they are one cell thick.
How does capillary wall receive oxygen?
Capillary walls receive oxygen in the lungs by a process known as diffusion.
What structure within a capillary bed shunts blood from arteriole to venule?
Artery -> Arteriole -> Capillary -> Venule -> Vein
What tissue makes up the capillary wall?
Epithelial Tissues?
What is capillary exchange?
Capillary exchange play an important role in homeostasis, it involve the processes of that moves materials across typical capillary wall like diffusion, filtration and reabsorption.
How does the thick capillary wall help blood move slowly?
Capillaries do not vary in thickness, they are very thin. The thin wall permits the exchange between the blood in the capillary and the adjacent tissue cells.
