Continuous capillaries2. Fenestrated capillaries3. Sinusoidal capillaries (sinusoids)Continuous CapillariesAbundant in the skin and muscles•Tight junctions connect endothelial cells •Intercellular clefts allow the passage of fluids and small solutesContinuous capillaries of the brain•Tight junctions are complete, forming the blood-brain barrierFigure 19.3aRed bloodcell in lumenIntercellularcleftEndothelialcellEndothelialnucleusTight junctionPinocytoticvesiclesPericyteBasementmembrane(a) Continuous capillary. Least permeable, and most common (e.g., skin, muscle).Fenestrated CapillariesSome endothelial cells contain pores (fenestrations)More permeable than continuous capillariesFunction in absorption or filtrate formation (small intestines, endocrine glands, and kidneys)Figure 19.3bRed bloodcell in lumenIntercellularcleftFenestrations(pores)EndothelialcellEndothelialnucleusBasement membraneTight junctionPinocytoticvesicles(b) Fenestrated capillary. Large fenestrations (pores) increase permeability. Occurs in special locations (e.g., kidney, small intestine).Sinusoidal CapillariesFewer tight junctions, larger intercellular clefts, large lumensUsually fenestratedAllow large molecules and blood cells to pass between the blood and surrounding tissuesFound in the liver, bone marrow, spleenFigure 19.3cNucleus ofendothelialcell Red bloodcell in lumenEndothelialcellTight junctionIncompletebasementmembraneLargeintercellularcleft(c) Sinusoidal capillary. Most permeable. Occurs in special locations (e.g., liver, bone marrow, spleen).Capillary BedsInterwoven networks of capillaries form the microcirculation between arterioles and venulesConsist of two types of vessels1. Vascular shunt (metarteriole—thoroughfare channel):oDirectly connects the terminal arteriole and a postcapillary venule2. True capillarieso10 to 100 exchange vessels per capillary bedoBranch off the metarteriole or terminal arterioleFigure 19.4(a) Sphincters open—blood flows through true capillaries.PrecapillarysphinctersMetarterioleVascular shuntTerminal arteriole Postcapillary venuleThoroughfare channelTrue capillariesPostcapillary venuleTerminal arteriole(b) Sphincters closed—blood flows through metarteriole thoroughfare channel and bypasses true capillaries.Blood Flow Through Capillary BedsHigh O2, low pH, nutrients, low CO2, cold external temperatures, fight or flight conditionsLow O2, high CO2, high pH, low nutrients, hot external temperatures, relaxationCardio System II: Vasculature and Pressure Blood Vessel Anatomy•Arteries and arterioles•Capillaries (3 types)•Veins and venulesPulse and Pressure PointsBlood Pressure•Factors Regulating Blood PressureTable 19.1 (2 of 2)VenulesFormed when capillary beds uniteVery porous; allow fluids and WBCs into tissuesPostcapillary venules consist of endothelium and a few pericytesLarger venules have one or two layers of smooth muscle cellsVeinsFormed when venules convergeHave
