What is the unique structural modification in lymphatic capillaries that increases their permeability?

Biology

KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Minivalves

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries are so much permeable that some researchers thought that they are open from one side but scientists found that this permeability is due to some structural modification.

The endothelial cell that forms the lymphatic capillaries wall are not packed tightly and overlap each other very loosely which makes easy openings in the structure called mini valves.

When the pressure of fluid in interstitial space is high then the mini valves become open and allow the fluid to enter the lymphatic capillary. So mini valves are the unique structural modification that increases permeability in lymphatic capillaries.

Drag and drop the labels (5) that complete this DNA structure.
Naddik [55]
A) Each DNA nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate group ... Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are ... In the case of RNA, the five-carbon sugar is ribose. DNA is made up of two strands that are twisted around each other to form a right-handed helix, called a double helix. Base-pairing takes place between a purine and pyrimidine: namely, A pairs with T, and G pairs with C. In other words, adenine and thymine are complementary base pairs, and cytosine and guanine are also complementary base pairs. This is the basis for Chargaff’s rule; because of their complementarity, there is as much adenine as thymine in a DNA molecule and as much guanine as cytosine. Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are connected by three hydrogen bonds. The two strands are anti-parallel in nature; that is, one strand will have the 3′ carbon of the sugar in the “upward” position, whereas the other strand will have the 5′ carbon in the upward position. The diameter of the DNA double helix is uniform throughout because a purine (two rings) always pairs with a pyrimidine (one ring) and their combined lengths are always equal.
