capillary permeability

Preferred Label : capillary permeability;

MeSH definition : 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.;

MeSH synonym : permeability, capillary; permeabilities, capillary; capillary permeabilities;

MeSH Hyperonym : permeability, microvascular; vascular permeability; Microvascular Permeability; Microvascular Permeabilities; Permeabilities, Microvascular; Permeabilities, Vascular; Permeability, Vascular; Vascular Permeabilities;

MeSH annotation : coord IM with endogenous substance /metab (IM) or exogenous substance /pharmacokin (IM);
