Your capillaries on a basic level are small blood vessels that supply your muscles with blood.
You can increase your capillary capacity and make them more dense by training with light weights in the gym (20+ repetitions) or by doing endurance related activities such as running, rowing, climbing for an extended period of time.

What helps determine the capillary density in a given tissue?
Capillary density within tissues varies directly with tissues' rates and metabolism.
Is capillary density greater in power lifters or endurance athletes?
There's a greater capillary density in endurance athletes, due to the angiogenesis that occurs.Source: BIPN 108: Exercise Physiology, UCSD
What happens to capillary density with prolonged stay at altitude?
Capillary density will drastically increases due to the functional properties of osmolality throughout the muscular skeletal system as attributed to the involved effects of homeostasis.
How does capillary density occur?
It occurs naturally and is developed by the body according to where the most blood is needed. One of the densest areas of capillaries are in our intestinal area.
What is the most common external type of bleeding?

What is capillary reabsorption?

When the osmotic pressure in a capillary exceeds the blood pressure in the capillary what is the net movement of fluid?
water and waste will move in capillary . water and waste will move in capillary .
What is brisk capillary refill?
Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.
What is capillary inversion?
Capillary inversion refers to the abnormal condition of the capillary whereby it has been turned inside out or inward.
What is a split capillary?
