Sinusoid (Discontinuous) Capillaries

A unique variety of capillary, sinusoid capillaries are present in the endothelium and have quite big, open holes.

There are sinusoid blood veins in the lymph nodes, the adrenal glands, and even the bone marrow. Some cells do not have tight connections between them; these cells are typically found in the liver and spleen.

These tiny blood arteries, referred to as sinusoids, contain open pores as opposed to the continuous and fenestrated forms of capillaries. Contrary to sinusoid capillaries, which lack a diaphragm and only contain an exposed open pore, fenestrated capillaries have diaphragm-like structures that cover the pores.

The permeability of the capillary is increased by these open pores, and this permeability allows albumin and other small- and medium-sized proteins to enter and leave the bloodstream.

What are Kupffer cells used for?

Kupffer cells, sometimes referred to as stellate macrophages and Kupffer-Browicz cells, are specialized cells found in the liver's sinusoids lumen and are adhering to the endothelial cells that make up the blood channel walls. The majority of tissue-resident macrophages in the body are found in kupffer cells.

Clear cutting has a similar effect as controlled burning of a forest. True False
zysi [14]

The correct answer is false and here is why:

Clear cutting refers to the cutting of trees, specifically all of the trees in one select area. Replanting is not done and this leads to deforestation.

Controlled burns have a completely different affect. They burn the under brush to help keep the soil rich with nutrients, plus they also help to prevent large crown fires that burn down whole forests from happening.

Clear cutting is a bad thing and controlled burns are a good limiter for a forest.
