title: Physiologic regulation of capillary permeability.
abstract: The review provides an update and overview of the role of exchange microvessels in the transfer of materials between circulating blood and metabolizing tissues. Following a presentation of the basic mechanisms governing transvascular movement of water and solutes, both active and passive modulation of vascular permeability are discussed. Some of the issues under current study are highlighted and a few of the questions awaiting answers are raised.
