Summary Introduction

To write:

Difference between fenestrated capillaries and continuous capillaries.

Introduction:

Capillaries are the smallest and numerous blood vessels. The wall of the capillaries are thin (0.5µm), contain a single layer of endothelial cell supported by a basement membrane. Capillaries are often “leaky” in nature and thus are categorized as fenestrated and continuous capillaries (discontinuous) on the basis of their “leakiness” level.
