Fenestrated capillaries are present in:
Ans: D (Small intestine) Ref: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 21st ed and Textbook of Medical Physiology, Indu Khurana, pg: 432Explanation:"in most endocrine glands, the intestinal villi, and parts of the kidneys, the cytoplasm of the endothelial cells is attenuated to form gaps called fenestrations. These fenestrations are 20-100 nm in diameter. They permit the passage of relatively large molecules and make the capillaries porous."
