they have a lot of jobs to do
- a high surface area to volume ratio, having walls only one cell thick only wide enough for red blood cells to travel single file - this maximizes exchange rate of substances into and out of capillaries
- lots of tiny vessels all around the body to ensure most efficient exchange of nutrients, oxygen, wastes etc. - body builders and very muscular people can develop more capillaries than non-athletic people because they need more nutrients and waste removal for their numerous muscle cells

Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells?
capillaries is where the exchange of materials occur such as; gases,nutrients, hormones, and so on.between the blood and the interstitial fluid.
What blood vessels permit the exchange of nutrients and gases between blood and tissue?
Capillaries
What is the role the capillaries?
exchange of nutrients and gasses with tissues
What is role of capillaries?
exchange of nutrients and gasses with tissues
What vessels are known as exchange vessels?
Capillaries are known as exchange vessels. Capillaries are the smallest of vessels and allow nutrients and waste to pass through blood and body.
What is the role of the capillaries?
Capillaries are very small blood vessels found within the tissues of the body. Its primary role is to transport blood from arteries to the veins.
What are the main responsibility of the capillaries?
To exchange oxygen and nutrients between arterioles and venules
Exchange of gases and nutrients occurs by diffusion between the?
capillaries and tissue cells
What are tiny blood vessels are composed of a single layer of epithelium and therefore function as exchange vessels?
Blood capillaries
Why exchange of substances blood and cells take place through capillaries?
Capillaries have thin and permeable walls which allow the exchange of substances (such as nutrients, oxygen and CO2) to occur. This enables substances to dissociate throughout the entire body (as capillaries are present throughout the entire body).
What are the thin walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and cells?
Capillaries - The endometrium (epithelial lining/wall) of the capillaries is only one cell thick optimizing diffusion/osmosis between it and the tissue cells of the body
In which blood vessels does the exchange of oxygen and food nutrients and waste materials from the blood take place?
Capillary.capillariesCapillaries.Blood flow moves from arteries, to arterioles, to capillaries, to venules, to veins, to the heart, and then back to arteries. Capillaries are where the exchange of oxygen and other materials happens.Capillaries
