Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fenestrated capillaries exhibit pores in the endothelial cells that allow small substances to pass through. Sinusoid capillaries exhibit large openings in the endothelial cells as well as a discontinuous basement membrane; this allows for much greater movement of fluid and cells into and out of the capillaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sinusoids are fenestrated discontinuous capillaries found in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sinusoids are a special type of capillary that have a wide diameter. These are found in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow and some endocrine glands. They can be continuous, fenestrated, or discontinuous.
