Capillaries. Since they are only once endothelial cell thick, they can exchange gas, nutrients, and waste across their membrane. Capillaries in the brain have endothelial cells close together to onyl allow a slecetive exchange of materials, while capillaries in the kidney or liver have gaps between the endothelial cells to allow the exchange of a lot of materials.

What are the small vessels where blood exchanges various materials with cells?
The human circulatory system consists of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and tissue fluid.
