Arterioles and Venules are Connected by _______ in the Liver

Question

Arterioles and venules are connected by _______ in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.
A) tunics
B) sinusoids
C) capillaries
D) hepatic veins

Accepted Answer

Sinusoids are specialized capillaries found in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow that connect arterioles and venules. They allow for the exchange of substances between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Tunics and hepatic veins are not involved in this connection, and capillaries alone do not directly connect arterioles and venules in these organs.
