Final answer:

Fenestrated, continuous, and sinusoidal capillaries differ in permeability and location.


Explanation:

Fenestrated capillaries have pores in addition to tight junctions, making them permeable to larger molecules. They are commonly found in locations like the small intestine and kidneys. Continuous capillaries have intercellular clefts allowing the exchange of small molecules, found in areas like the lungs and brain. Sinusoidal capillaries are the least common type, with extensive gaps allowing passage of large molecules, seen in organs like the liver and spleen.
