Question
Chapter 22, Problem 9RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term capillary bed with the most closely related descriptions given below:
deliver blood to the head
transport blood to the body’s skeletal muscles and internal organs
arteries whose smooth muscles do not contract
stationary blood clot
network of capillaries
arteries that supply a capillary network
supply blood to the upper limbs
small air sacs
supply blood to the lower limbs
collect blood from the kidneys
Introduction:
The arterioles and venule are further divided into smaller capillaries that are linked together to form capillary beds. These capillaries are thin and are composed of a single layer of endothelium. They serve as a site of exchange of gases and nutrients.
