In muscles and other body tissues, there are capillary beds which connect arterial supply and venous return.

Arteries end as capillaries in the body tissue, where blood dumps oxygen and nutrients for use by muscles. At this point they are considered arterial. They may also pick up waste products to carry away. By the end of the capillary beds, they are depleted and considered venous. They flow continuously into the veins which flow back to the heart.

The heart sends this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and the cycle continues.

What is the explanation for the process of capillary exchange?

Capillary exchange is the process by which substances, such as oxygen and nutrients, are exchanged between the blood in capillaries and the surrounding tissues. This occurs through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. The exchange is driven by a concentration gradient and the movement of substances across the capillary wall is regulated by small pores called fenestrations and by the presence of transport proteins.


What are capillary transport mechanism?

Capillary transport mechanisms refer to the movement of fluids through capillaries by processes such as diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. These mechanisms help to transport nutrients, gases, and waste products to and from cells in the body. The exchange of substances across capillaries is essential for maintaining proper tissue function.

Is the transporting of molecules from the blood capillaries to body tissuse by active transport or bulk transport?

Neither except in the case of the sodium potassium pump. Transport of "molecules" is by osmotic pressure at the capillary bed and by and concentration gradient/ diffusion at the actual cell membranes.
