Answer 7

smaller arteries

arterioles

metarterioles

Question 8

capillaries

Answer 8

continuous

fenestrated

sinusoids

Question 9

continuous capillaries

Answer 9

occur in most tissues

endothelial cells joined by tight junction

intercellular clefts between cells allow for exchange

Question 10

fenestrated capillaires

Answer 10

kidneys, small intestines

endothelial cells contain pores called filtration pores

allow for high rate of exchange

Question 11

sinusoid capillaries

Answer 11

liver, bone and spleen

endothelial cells separated by large gap no basil lamina

allows for formd elemants to enter and exit capillary

Answer 12

postcapillary

muscular veins

medium veins

venous sinuses

large veins

Question 13
