The capillary is the only blood vessel where things can be exchanged because it is so thin (one cell thick). Capillaries have a single cell layer of squamous epithilium.
Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
Oxygen is exchanged from the air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide is exchanged from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli during the process of respiration.
Capillaries are the small blood vessels where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. They are located throughout the body and allow for the exchange of gases between the blood and tissues.

I believe the tiny blood vessels are called capillaries, located in the lungs.
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
The three types of blood vessels are:1. Arteries2. Veins3. Capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues)They are:(1) Arteries - These are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They generally carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.(2) Veins - These are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. They generally carry de oxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.(3) Capillaries - They generally form a capillary network through which substances are exchanged between the blood and tissues. Capillaries carry blood from arterioles (branches of artery) to venoules (branches of vein).
Tiny blood vessels that allow substances to pass between the blood and body tissues are called
