Examples of fenestration in the following topics:
-
- A sinusoid is a small blood vessel that is a type of capillary similar to a fenestrated endothelium.
- Sinusoids are actually classified as a type of open pore capillary (that is, discontinuous) as opposed to fenestrated.
- Fenestrated capillaries have diaphragms that cover the pores whereas open pore capillaries lack a diaphragm, having just an open pore.
-
- Blood from either source passes into cavities between the hepatocytes of the liver called sinusoids, which feature a fenestrated discontinuous endothelium allowing for the effcient transfer and processing of nutrients in the liver.
- Sinusoid of a rat liver with fenestrated endothelial cells.
-
- Fenestrated - Fenestrated capillaries have pores in the endothelial cells (60-80 nm in diameter) that are spanned by a diaphragm of radially oriented fibrils and allow small molecules and limited amounts of protein to diffuse.
- Sinusoidal- Sinusoidal capillaries are a special type of fenestrated capillaries that have larger openings (30-40 μm in diameter) in the endothelium.
-
- Continuous capillaries with their tight structure reduce bulk flow, fenestrated capillaries permit a larger amount and discontinuous capillaries allow the largest amount of bulk flow.
-
- For instance, the Greek classical architectural orders are all proportioned rather than dimensioned or measured modules, because the earliest modules were not based on body parts and their spans (fingers, palms, hands, and feet), but rather on column diameters and the widths of arcades and fenestrations.
-
- Birds are diapsids, meaning they have two fenestrations, or openings, in their skulls.
