Capillaries are adapted with narrow, permeable, single-cell thick walls to efficiently exchange substances with surrounding cells.
Como os capilares são adaptados à sua função? (3 adaptações) Muito estreitos para caber entre as células para trocar substâncias. Paredes permeáveis para que as substâncias possam se difundir para dentro e para fora. Paredes de uma célula de espessura, aumenta a taxa de difusão ao diminuir a distância.
