How Do Fenestrated Capillaries Compare to Sinusoidal Capillaries?
Sinusoidal capillaries, also known as discontinuous capillaries, are even more permeable than fenestrated capillaries. They have larger gaps between endothelial cells and an incomplete basal lamina. Sinusoidal capillaries are found in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, where extensive exchange of large molecules and cells is necessary.
