Capillaries are very small in size because they need to have a large surface area so they are able to transport blood all around the body. Blood cells must pass in single file through the capillaries as they are so small.
capillaries are the smallest.
Unlike veins and arteries, capillaries are very small and very thin. While veins and the like have over 5 layers, capillaries only have two.
they are blood vessels that reachout to the cells

Typically, they are capillaries. Capillaries are the very small blood vessels that run the exchange between the arteries and veins - essentially facilitating the U-turn from the heart, back to the heart. Capillaries are very small, only allowing a single file of blood cells to pass through them.
The answer you are looking for is most likely a "capillary". "Capillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels...which connect aterioles and venules, and enable the interchange of water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues."
The tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli arecalled alveolar capillaries
