Which capillary would be best suited for this filtration?

Fenestrated capillaries (found wherever active capillary absorption or filtration occurs)

The kidney contains the renal glomerulus - a network of capillaries. It is identified as fenestrated capillaries and it allows small molecules and small amount of protein to diffuse into the blood stream.
