Is There a net work of capillaries in each organ?
Yes, capillaries are nearly everywhere in your body.
Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of what?
Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the surrounding tissues. This network allows efficient gas exchange to occur in the lungs.
What is the name of the organ that you use to breathe in oxygen?
the air goes into your lungs. In your lungs there are billions of tiny air sacs. Surrounding each air sac is a network of blood capillaries. The air sacs and the blood capillaries are separated by a thin membrane. Across this membrane the air sacs give the blood capillaries oxygen and they blood capillaries give the air sacs carbon dioxide. We breathe out this carbon dioxide!
What organ leaks nutrients into capillaries?
The stomach
What is an unique feature of the arteries veins and the capillaries?
Arteries,veins and capillaries are the blood vessels which help in transporting blood from one organ to another organ.
Which organ has the most capillaries?
From my limited understanding - it is the kidney.
What does the alveoli of a rich network contain?
Capillaries
What organ has thousands of capillaries to receive inhaled oxygen?
vein
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
What is the network of capillaries surrounding the renal tubule?
The glomerulus are a network of capillaries surrounding the renal tube. peritubular capillary beds
Are capillaries connected to the heart?
yes capillaries are connected to heart because heart is a muscular organ and the exchange of materials between heart walls and blood occurs through capillaries.
What surrounds each alveolar sac?
Each alveolar sac is surrounded by a network of capillaries that facilitate the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the air in the sac and the bloodstream. This close proximity allows for efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
