Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.

How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
In which blood vessels does diffusion occur?
Capillaries.
How can substances move across capillaries?
Substances typically move across capillaries via diffusion.
How does oxygen enter the capillaries?
Oxygen enter the capillaries by diffusion due to difference in oxygen concentrations.
The movement of oxygen from the lung into the pulmonary capillaries is by?
diffusion
Slow blood flow within capillaries?
Slow blood flow in the capillaries helps increase the efficiency of diffusion. The thin capillary wall also helps with diffusion.
How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
How does oxygen from your lungs gets into your blood?
Diffusion through capillaries
What are the transport mechanisms used by capillaries?
Diffusion, Filtration, and Osmosis
Why is it possible for diffusion to take place at the capillaries and not in the arteries and veins?
liquid can leak in and out of capillaries, and arteries and veins have such thick walls, and their jobs are just to bring blood to and from the heart. NO need for diffusion in these.
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.
Is the rate of filtration the same in all types of capillaries?
No. There are essentially three different capillaries that differ in the rate of diffusion.
