Question
click and drag on elements in order
arrange the three types of capillaries in order from the least permeable (only the smallest solutes can pass through) at the top to the most permeable (largest solutes can pass through) at
the bottom.
instructions
fenestrated capillaries
sinusoids
continuous capillaries
To solve this, we recall the permeability of capillary types:
- Continuous capillaries have tight junctions, allowing only small solutes (least permeable).
- Fenestrated capillaries have pores, allowing moderate-sized solutes.
- Sinusoids have large gaps, allowing large solutes (most permeable).
So the order from least to most permeable (top to bottom) is: Continuous capillaries, Fenestrated capillaries, Sinusoids.
