Tight junction
Fenestrated capillary. Large fenestrations (pores) increase permeability. Occurs in areas of active absorption or filtration (e.g., kidney, small intestine).

Postcapillary venule
Sphincters open—blood flows through true capillaries.
Terminal arteriole Postcapillary venule
Sphincters closed—blood flows through metarteriole – thoroughfare channel and bypasses true capillaries.
