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 is the role of capillaries in the digestive system?

What is the role of the cells that line the capillaries of the brain?
The cells lining the brain's tiny blood vessels (capillaries) are specifically designed to prevent many substances from passing into brain tissue.
What vessel play a key role in regulating blood flow into capillaries?
arterioles
Capillaries that have a incomplete lining are called?
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
What role do the capillaries play in gaseous exchange?
Capillaries are very thin and form almost web like structures. Because of how thin they are, they have a favorable surface area to volume ratio. Capillaries increase the surface area available for gas to diffuse into the blood. More suface area leads to more gas exchange.
The lymphatic capillaries are?
The lymphatic capillaries are small, thin-walled vessels that collect excess tissue fluid (lymph) from the interstitial spaces and return it to the bloodstream. This helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting immune cells and proteins.
What structures connect the smallest arteries with the smallest veins?
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
What blood vessels surround the aveoli?
