Capillaries
exchange of nutrients and gasses with tissues
exchange of nutrients and gasses with tissues
This process occurs through the capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the tissues, while waste products and carbon dioxide diffuse from the tissues into the blood. This exchange is facilitated by the thin walls of the capillaries and the high surface area for diffusion.
The velocity of blood is slowest in the capillaries. This allows for maximum exchange of nutrients, gases, and wastes between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
Capillaries are known as exchange vessels. Capillaries are the smallest of vessels and allow nutrients and waste to pass through blood and body.
Capillaries are very small blood vessels found within the tissues of the body. Its primary role is to transport blood from arteries to the veins.
Blood capillaries
capillaries and tissue cells
To exchange oxygen and nutrients between arterioles and venules
Lymph vessels
Tiny blood vessels are called capillaries. They have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues.
