The leakiest capillaries, which allow large substances such as cells to cross the capillary walls are called sinusoidal capillaries.

Sinusoidal capillaries are a unique kind of capillaries that are wide in diameter. The diameter of a sinusoidal capillary is 30 to 40 nm.

Sinusoidal capillaries can be found in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. In the spleen, sinusoidal capillaries help in the filtration of blood. They remove broken red blood cells, antigens and other pathogens remains in the blood.

Sinusoidal capillaries are known as leakiest capillaries because all other capillaries have a narrow diameter and do not allow the passing of large substances. Sinusoidal capillaries are the only ones with a large diameter that allows the passing of larger substances.

One of the effects of the hormone secretin is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate ions into the duodenum, which neutralizes
avanturin [10]

Answer:

It will enable gut enzymes to act on the bolus during digestion.

Explanation:

The acidic presence of HCl (hydrochloric acid) in the gastric juice serves as a stimulus for the intestinal wall to produce secretin.

This hormone will act on the pancreas by stimulating the production of pancreatic juice that will contain <u>enzymes</u> (trypsinogen, amylase, lipases) and <u>HCO3⁻</u> (bicarbonate) salts, which have base composition.

With this composition that will be sent to the duodenum, there will be neutralization of acidic solution coming from the stomach and pH leveling around 8.0 (slightly basic) which is great for the enzymes that work there.
