Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that supply blood to the organs and muscles of the body, transferring oxygen to and carbon dioxide from them. Capillaries are found around the body, everywhere. High blood pressure causes the capillaries to burst. Bursting capillaries in the brain cause strokes, and bursting capillaries in the kidneys cause kidney failure.
