The spleen filters and removes worn-out blood cells from circulation. Determine the type of capillary that would allow the transfer of blood cells between the blood and interstitial fluid
What will be an ideal response?
Sinusoidal capillaries are the leakiest capillaries due to large pores in their endothelium. These capillaries are larger in diameter than other capillaries, and often have an irregular shape because their boundaries are determined by the organ in which they reside. Their size, shape, and sluggish blood flow allow them to facilitate the transfer of blood cells between blood and interstitial fluid.
