erythrocyte
immune cells
Reticulocytes (RBC) have intravascular function (within blood vessels)
White blood cells can pass through the blood vessel walls when required.
They do this to help prevent infection when you have broken the skin.
The vessels allow them to leak through so that the white blood cells can fight any pathogens that might otherwise enter the bloodstream.
Hope this helps!

Leukocytes
A leukocyte. White blood cell called a macrophage.
CAPILLARIES.....
Capillaries.
capillaries
The capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen move from the blood through the arterial capillary walls into the body tissues, and wastes and carbon dioxide move through the venous capillary walls from the body tissues into the blood.
For an illustration of capillary structure and blood flow, refer to the related link.
These are capillaries. They are very thin so that gas and nutrients can be exchanged. They are found in beds which have many of these vessels.
I believe its the capillaries
Leukocytes move through blood vessel walls to enter tissues. They do this using a process called diapedesis. It is something like a thin amoeba squeezing their way through small spaces between cell walls.
I'd say capillaries. These vessels are only one cell thick which allows other molecules to pass through easily.
Capillaries are the blood vessels that allow diffusion. For instance, the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs allow diffusion of gases.

What blood vessel exchanges substances with a nephron?
Capillary. The thin walls allow diffusion of materials to pass from the blood flow into the nephron.
Which blood vessel does diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place primarily in the capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels in the body. Capillaries have thin walls that allow for the exchange of these gases between the bloodstream and the surrounding tissues.
Which blood vessel will allow a forceful flow of the blood?
cappillaries
Which blood vessel will allow a force flow of blood?
cappillaries
Does an anastomosis allow blood to bypass a blood vessel obstruction?
Yes
What is the smallest blood vessel that feeds the cells?
Capillaries. It is only one cell thick (adaptation for diffusion)
One example of diffusion in the human body?
The lack of nutrients inside a cell compared to the blood vessel creates a concentration gradient between the blood vessel and the cell. Due to the lower concentration in the cell, the nutrients diffuse through the blood vessel wall and into the cell.
What are tiny blood vessel with very tiny walls that are the site of the exchange of useful and waste products?
Capillaries are the tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that are the site of the exchange of useful products and waste products. They allow diffusion of these materials across their thin walls.
What kind of blood vessel are the thinest?
Blood capillaries are the thinnest, their walls only a single layer thick in order to reduce the diffusion distance for substances between the blood and tissues.
What is a vessel with a thick layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibers that allow for expansion?
An artery is a vessel with a thick medial layer, consisting of smooth muscle to allow for constriction or dilation in order to control blood flow through the vessel.
What blood vessel will allow a forceful flow of blood?
the answer can be veins or ateries or venules or capillaries... sorry i really do not know the answer... hehehe... :)
What is the medical term meaning expansion of a blood vessel?
Dilation of a blood vessel is the term for physiologic widening of the vessel. Abnormal widening of the blood vessel through a weakening of the wall is known as aneurysm.Dilation of a blood vessel means widening of the vessel.
