Pulmonary Capillary Bed (Mechanical Trapping)

Molecular classification: Other

Overview

The pulmonary capillary bed is a dense network of tiny blood vessels in the lungs, primarily responsible for gas exchange. Mechanical trapping within this bed refers to the physical retention of cells or particles—such as white blood cells (WBCs), tumor cells, or emboli—due to size, rigidity, or deformability constraints as they pass through these narrow capillaries. This process plays a role in immune surveillance, metastasis, and various lung pathologies.
