Are there capillaries in the heart?

yes there are capillaries in the heart. as heart is a muscular structure and it contracts and expands it also needs energy to work this energy supplied to the heart muscles by the coronary arteries, which supplies oxygen to the muscles. these arise from the aorta close to its origin and break up into tiny capillaries surrounding the cardiac muscles to provide oxygen and nutrient.


Why is there a large amount of blood capillaries in lungs digestive system and muscles?

There are many capillaries in your lungs, digestive system and muscles because each of these locations require blood to be transfered to individual cells snd capillaries are the smallest vessels that can do this.In your lungs capillaries connect to the alveoli and enable gas exchange within the body.In your digestive system capillaries enables food to be passed through the walls of the intestines.In your muscles capillaries deliver a fresh supply of oxygen to each cell and remove any bi-products enabling you to move sufficiently.

Cappilaries found in?

Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that supply blood to the organs and muscles of the body, transferring oxygen to and carbon dioxide from them. Capillaries are found around the body, everywhere. High blood pressure causes the capillaries to burst. Bursting capillaries in the brain cause strokes, and bursting capillaries in the kidneys cause kidney failure.


What muscles control the flow of blood through the capillaries?

There are no muscles in arteries. Arterioles have muscles which can close them, but which has no normal flow control. (Used is stress/shock conditions only) Capillaries have a muscle which can stop all flow through it - it responds to oxygen pressure and is the ultimate control of blood flow.


How many musucles does the body have?

Your body has thousands upon thousands of muscles. The commonest are tiny sphincter muscles on the arterioles, which control the blood flow into the capillaries, and into the venules (which are the tiniest veins).


How do alveolar and capillaries work together to provide the muscles with oxygen?

as it moves through blood vessels capillaries in the alveoli walls, your blood takes oxygen from the alveoli and gives off carbon dioxide to the alveoli


Why does exercise increase the number of capillaries in your body?

The body will increase capillaries in order to get blood to where it is needed faster. This helps get extra oxygen to the muscles.
