Capillaries, they have gaps between the cells so that red blood cells and nutrients can pass into the tissues to be used

What vessels of the body are thin and small enough to allow materials to pass over the membrane?
Capillaries
What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin blood vessels of the lungs?
When blood is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs, carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.

What blood vessel exchanges substances with a nephron?
Capillary. The thin walls allow diffusion of materials to pass from the blood flow into the nephron.
What are the small vessels where blood exchanges various materials with cells?
The human circulatory system consists of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and tissue fluid.
What is the normal INR reading for blood and if the number is low does that mean the blood is thin or thick?
the normal INR reading is 1.0 to 1.2. In some cases require thin blood to pass without difficulty in blood vessels, then normal range is 2.0 to 3.0
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.
Tiny thin blood vessels where carbon dioxide are exchanged?
I believe the tiny blood vessels are called capillaries, located in the lungs.
What is the functions of the cappillaries?
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that pass blood from the arteries into the veins. They are very small, the largest being about 10 micrometers in diameter. Their walls are thin which allows materials to pass into the capillaries. Different types of capillaries exist and perform different functions for the body. Primarily, however, the capillaries are able to profuse the tissues of the body with needed oxygen and important nutrients supplied by blood.
What are tiny blood vessel with very tiny walls that are the site of the exchange of useful and waste products?
Capillaries are the tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that are the site of the exchange of useful products and waste products. They allow diffusion of these materials across their thin walls.
What are the thin-walled vessels of the circulatory system where most oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
No, all gas exchange is done through capillaries. Both veins and arteries are too thick and contain muscle layers that prevent gas exchange. However, capillaries are small enough (blood cells can only pass through one at a time) that oxygen can pass to the tissues and carbon dioxide can pass to the RBCs.
