No, blood delievers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of your body. In the process, a conformational change in the hemoglobin--oxygen carrying protein within blood cells--takes place as oxygen is released. This conformational change causes the change in color between arterial blood and venous blood. There is no "ageing" process in this manner. Blood is recycled periodically by a different process that is not directly linked to the process of capillary exchange

True or false Capillaries are where fresh blood is exchanged for old.?

I will tell you what a capillary is, but you should figure it out from there. A capillary is the tiny blood vessel that connects veins and arteries. The blood would go through the capillaries to reach one or the other. Remember: Arteries and veins each carry old or new blood. I can't remember what does what.

How can you get rid of broken capillaries with aromatherapy?

Capillaries are composed of a single layer of cells and are the sites of fluid and gas exchange. The single cell later of capillaries, although ideal for diffusion, creates problems because capillary beds are easily destroyed. High blood pressure of any impact can rupture the thin-layered capillary and bruising occurs when blood rushes into the space between tissues. White blood cells eat the nutrients from the broken capillary tissue and recycle it basically. There is no way to get rid of them once they are broken, bruising will occur and it takes time before new capillaries can replace the old, the blood will be soaked up, and the bruising disappears.Therefore the only way to deal with broken capillaries is to wait for them to disappear on their own.
