The 26 pages that link to Capillary, each with the reason it gives.

• Countercurrent exchangeRelated: Capillaries connect arterial and venous circulation, though limb exchangers often involve larger vessels.

• VasodilationRelated: Upstream dilation influences how much blood reaches capillary beds.

• Cutaneous respirationRelated: Near-surface capillaries carry absorbed oxygen away and bring carbon dioxide to the skin.

• William HarveyRelated: Harvey inferred passage between arteries and veins, though capillaries were observed after his death.

• Gas exchangeRelated: Capillaries carry blood beside respiratory surfaces and distribute absorbed oxygen.

• ArteryRelated: Arteries ultimately branch into capillary networks where exchange occurs.

• Circulatory systemBroader topic: Capillaries supplied the missing link between arteries and veins in circulation.

• PericyteNarrower topic: Pericytes are especially associated with capillaries, where their processes contact the vessel wall.

• VasculitisBroader topic: Small-vessel vasculitis often involves capillaries and their surrounding tissues.

• Blood flowBroader topic: Capillary flow delivers materials directly to cells and varies with local demand.

• Capillary exchangeNarrower topic: Capillaries are the vessels across whose walls the exchange occurs.

• Nasal mucosaRelated: Dense capillaries near the surface help warm incoming air.

• MicrocirculationBroader topic: Their thin endothelial walls form the principal exchange surface.

• Blood circulationBroader topic: Their thin walls allow exchange between blood and tissues.

• Blood vesselBroader topic: Its narrow, permeable walls provide the main site of exchange with body cells.

• Marcello MalpighiBroader topic: His observations of capillaries supplied the missing link between arteries and veins.

• ArterioleRelated: Arterioles deliver blood to capillary networks.

• Cardiovascular systemBroader topic: Its thin wall enables oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to cross between blood and tissues.

• Endocrine glandRelated: Dense capillary networks carry secreted hormones away from endocrine cells.

• VenuleNarrower topic: Capillaries drain directly into venules after exchange with surrounding tissues.

• August KroghNarrower topic: Krogh’s account centered on how capillaries distribute blood and exchange oxygen in muscle.

• AngiologyBroader topic: Capillary networks connect arterial and venous circulation and support tissue perfusion.

• RutinRelated: Rutin has been investigated for effects on capillary fragility, but clinical evidence is limited.

• Exudates and transudatesNarrower topic: Capillary walls are the site where pressure and permeability shape fluid movement.

• Pallor mortisBroader topic: Capillaries near the skin surface contribute to its normal color.

• Parenchymal tissue (animal organs)Related: Capillaries connect organ support networks to the needs of functional cells.
