Answer:
There are three main types of blood vessels:
1)Artery ---
i) It is a blood vessel having a thick wall.
ii) It carries blood from the heart to different parts of the body.
iii) On regulatory demand of the body it can dilate or constrict.
iv) It doesn't contain any valve.
v) All arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.
2)Vein ---
i) It is a blood vessel having a thin wall.
ii) It brings blood from different parts to the heart.
iii) It can't dilate or constrict under normal conditions.
iv) It contains valves that allow the blood to flow in one direction towards the heart.
v) All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.
3)Capillary ---
i) It is a very narrow blood vessel that has very thin walls.
ii) It forms a network throughout the body in all living cells connecting arteries to veins.
iii) It can dilate or constrict according to the requirement of tissue.
iv) It doesn't have any valve.
v) It contains mixed blood as it connects arteries and veins
Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.
The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.
Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells. The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.
