Capillaries form the connection between the arteries and veins?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Capillaries connect the smallest branches of arteries and veins The walls of capillaries are just one cell thick. Capillaries therefore allow the exchange of molecules between the blood and the body's cells - molecules can diffuse across their walls. This exchange of molecules is not possible across the walls of other types of blood vessel.
