capillaries
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.
Capillaries.
Capillaries are the semipermeable vessels that allow for the exchange of materials, such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste products, between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and are thin enough to allow for the exchange of materials (such as nutrients, oxygen, and waste products) between blood and surrounding tissues. Their thin walls facilitate this exchange by allowing substances to pass through easily.

Capillaries via osmosis
In hot weather - blood vessels dilate (widen) - to allow the exchange of heat between the blood and sweat glands. The sweat evaporates - cooling the blood.
Materials are exchanged between cells and the blood mainly at the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels with thin walls that allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. This exchange process occurs through the process of diffusion.
capillaries have walls thin enough to allow the exchange of materials between cells and the blood. Their extensive branching provides a sufficient surface area to pick up and deliver substances to all cells in the body.
