kapillärnätverken
Kapillärnätverken are intricate networks of tiny blood vessels, known as capillaries, that are essential for the exchange of substances between the blood and the body's tissues. These networks are found throughout the body, permeating nearly every organ and tissue, with the exception of avascular tissues like cartilage and the cornea. The incredibly small diameter of capillaries, typically only about 5 to 10 micrometers, forces red blood cells to pass through in single file, maximizing the surface area available for diffusion and filtration.
The primary function of kapillärnätverken is to facilitate the transport of vital materials to the cells and
The structure of kapillärnätverken is highly adapted to their role. The thin walls of the capillaries, composed
