Blood passes through the capillaries, which provide a passage way for the blood from the arteries to the veins. The tiny, thin walled capillaries also allow for the exchange of gases through the tissue. You can read more about capillaries at fi.edu

Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround these sac?
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround the alveoli. The thin walls of the capillaries make this diffusion easier.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Why are capillaries the site of material exchange between the cells and blood?
The walls of capillaries are very thin allowing the nutrients of cells to diffuse through them. They facilitate the diffusion of nutrients to the body by passing them through their cell walls.
Which part of the body has thin walls to allow oxygen to pass through?
Capillaries
Which part of the body has thin walls that allow oxygen to pass through?
Capillaries
Why do the walls of the capillaries and aveoli need to be thin?
The walls of alveoli are thin to allow the exchange of gases (Co2 and O2) between blood capillaries and the aveoli in the lungs.
Oxygen and nutrients pass from the blood to the bodys tissues through the thin walls of the?
Capillaries
Why must air sacs have thin walls?
The air sac must have thin walls so that air passes easily through it.
Why do capillaries have such thin walls?
Capillaries have thin walls to optimise the level of diffusion of oxygen and other nutrients in the blood stream to the surrounding cells.
Where does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between the thin walls of the alveoli and the thin walls of the capillaries
What do the capillaries carry to the body cells?
Capillaries are very thin blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients and hormones can pass through the walls of the capillaries and reach the body's cells, while red blood cells remain in the capillaries.
Why capillaries have a single layer of epithelial cells?
it is because for the diffusion of water and oxygen molecules
