Explanation

Question 10 of 48

1

Explanation

Question 11 of 48

1

In certain places, including the Liver and bone marrow, the capillaries are significantly wider and leakier than normal. These are called Sinusoids and because their walls are incomplete and their lumen is much larger than usual, blood flows through them more slowly under less pressure and can come directly into contact with the cells outside the sinusoid wall. This allows must faster exchange of substances between the blood and the tissues.

Select one of the following:

True
