What organ is surrounded by capillary network?
glomerulus
The glomerulus is composed of a capillary network lined by a thin layer of endothelial cells, a central region of mesangium and epithelial cells (podocytes). The glomerulus represents the filtering unit for blood through which the plasma filtrate is derived in the first part of the uriniferous space.
Which of the following capillary types is located in the brain?
Continuous capillaries are generally found in the nervous system, as well as in fat and muscle tissue. Within nervous tissue, the continuous endothelial cells form a blood brain barrier, limiting the movement of cells and large molecules between the blood and the interstitial fluid surrounding the brain.
What is capillary network?
A capillary network is a local network that uses short-range radio-access technologies to provide local connectivity to things and devices. Capillary networks use short-range radio to provide local connectivity connecting to the global communication infrastructure through a capillary gateway.
What is the capillary network inside the capsule?
Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels—capillaries—called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.
What is the capillary network?
The capillary networks are the ultimate destination of arterial blood from the heart and are the starting point for flow of venous blood back to the heart. The smallest vessels in the lymphatic system are also called capillaries, as are the minute channels for bile in the liver. See also artery; vein.
How small is the smallest capillary?
A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (μm) in diameter, and having a wall one endothelial cell thick. They are the smallest blood vessels in the body: they convey blood between the arterioles and venules….
