Fenestrated Capillaries

A

Have little holes and Are in the KIDNEYS

20
Q

Sinusoids Capillaries

A

Look like been torn apart (big holes) IN LIVER

21
Q

Venules

A

Small veins connect capillaries to veins 2) Diapedeses (out into tissues)

22
Q

Veins pumped by

A

Skeletal muscle pumps with the help of valves

23
Q

Blood Pressure

A

1) Pressure exerted on arterial walls 2) mmHg(measured) 3) Systolic vs diastolic(relax)

24
Q

Systolic

A

During contraction of heart

25

Kupffer cells

A

With in sinusoids in liver; Phagocytic

34
