Within the capillaries blood cell functions include?
Releasing oxygen
What smallest blood vessels only one cell thick?
The thin walled blood vessels are called capillaries.
What are Cell fragments that prevent blood from leaking through capillaries?
Platelets are cell fragments that prevent blood from leaking through capillaries
What vessels drain blood from capillaries?
Arteries feed into capillaries, the capillaries give oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body and take toxins and CO2 from every cell in the body, from there the blood in the capillaries go into your veins (the blue blood vessels) which go to your heart.
What does blood cell functions include within the capillaries?
The function of the capillaries is to distribute oxygen carried on the hemoglobin of the red cells to all the cells of the body. The blood also carries nutrients to all the cells of the body.

Water, carbon dioxide, and other wastes are uploaded to the blood to be disposed of in the kidneys, lungs and liver.

capillaries
What is the medical term meaning one cell in thickness and are the smallest blood vessels?
The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
What is a pericyte?
A pericyte is a type of cell that is found in the walls of capillaries and small blood vessels. They play a role in blood vessel formation, stability, and regulation of blood flow. Pericytes also have functions in tissue repair and maintenance.
How big around are your capillaries?
they are only one blood cell thick!
When capillaries are next to the body cells the movement of oxygen is from where?
From the blood to the cell.
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cell in the tissue?
diffusion from red blood cells in capillaries to the tissue cells
