Carry blood away from the heart to other organs

52
Q

Capillaries

A
  • are at a cellular level; are exchange vessels
53

Venues merge to form larger blood vessels called veins

54
Q

Tunica interna contains

A

A
  • smallest arteries
  • generally al, have less than six cell layers of smooth muscle in tunica media

77

A

Capillaries
- smallest blood vessels
- consist solely of tunica intima: single layer of endothelial cells and basement membrane
- allow metabolic exchange between blood and tissues

78

79
Q

A
  • muscles
  • the brain
80
Q

  • small intestine
  • kidney
82
Q

Sinusoids

  • wider and more winding
  • have large fenestrations
  • contains incomplete or absent basement membrane
  • lager intercellular clefts
83
Q

Intercellular clefts

A
  • allow proteins and in some cases even blood cells to pass from a tissue into the bloodstream
84
Q

Sinusoids location

A
  • bone marrow
  • liver
85
