What are the thin walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and cells?
Capillaries - The endometrium (epithelial lining/wall) of the capillaries is only one cell thick optimizing diffusion/osmosis between it and the tissue cells of the body
What blood vessel permits exchange of oxygen between the blood and the tissues?
capillaries are the site of exchange of materials where the needed substances in the tissue diffuse into them from the capillary through diffusion.while the metabolic wa ste from tissues diffuse into the capillary and taken away.the capillaries have a big surface area and their cells is one cell thick to enable diffusion to take place fast.
