Permeability of continuous capillaries. 1989

This review describes the theories of transport of solutes and solvent across the endothelial membrane of continuous capillaries which constitutes the microvascular exchange domain in peripheral tissues such as the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and skin. The theories of equivalent endothelial pores and fiber matrix are considered together with discussions of the various methodological techniques for measurement of fluxes and flows, and the results and implications of anatomical and physiological examinations are considered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.
