The blood vessels, which include the capillaries, function to distribute nutrients such as glucose and oxygen to the body tissues and to carry wastes such as carbon dioxide and urea away from the tissues to be excreted.
The function of the capillaries in the circulatory system is to allow diffusion of wastes, oxygen, and nutrients to the tissues. The rest of the circulatory system is designed to move the blood to the capillaries so they can perform this function.
Vascular tissues allow for the transport of blood. The vascular system includes the veins, arteries, and capillaries.
The capillaries are the starting point of the one-way lymphatic system. Lymph capillaries originate in tissues and drain any excess tissue fluid that has not been reabsorbed into the bloodstream and move it into lymph veins. This prevents swelling or edema (collection of fluid in the tissues).

These are the finer vessels that carry blood, providing oxygen and nutrients to the skin and other tissues.
The capillaries serve as the bridge between arteries and veins where the exchange of chemical substances inside the body occurs.
Capillaries are part of the cardiovascular system. The capillaries are the smallest type of vessels of the system. They reside in almost all of the tissues in the body. The capillaries are so small, that they can only allow for one red blood cell to pass through it. The capillaries is where the gas exchange from blood to tissue and tissue to blood take place.
