Vascular Permeability
Vascular permeability is the process whereby blood vessels allow the passage of molecules and other elements from the blood to the interstitial fluid and vice versa. This process is crucial for the maintenance of homeostasis in the body, and is involved in many physiological processes such as wound healing, inflammation, and metabolic regulation. Drugs are also often given through vascular permeability with the aim of reaching specific organs or tissues. Vascular permeability therefore plays a significant role in many physiological and pharmacological processes.
