Fenestrated Capillary: Fenestrated capillaries have pores in their walls that allow for rapid exchange of water and small solutes, commonly found in kidneys, intestines, and endocrine glands.

Capillary Bed: Capillary beds are networks of microscopic vessels where exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs between blood and surrounding tissues, regulated by precapillary sphincters that control blood flow.
