From the arteries, the blood flows into the capillaries where food and oxygen diffuse through the one-cell-thick capillary walls and into the cells. Carbon dioxide and cellular wastes then diffuse into the blood. The capillaries then form veins. The veins then lead back to the heart so the blood can be sent to the lungs to be oxygenated. The blood is then pumped through the arteries to the rest of the body again.
