Question
select all that apply
choose all that are exchange processes that occur in capillaries.
vesicular transport
diffusion
bulk flow
the sodium/potassium pump
Capillaries are sites of exchange in the body. Vesicular transport can move substances across the capillary - endothelial cell membrane. Diffusion is a major process for the exchange of small molecules like oxygen and carbon - dioxide. Bulk flow is responsible for the movement of fluid and solutes based on hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. The sodium/potassium pump is mainly involved in maintaining ion gradients in cells like neurons and muscle cells, not a major exchange process in capillaries.
