Cells need to be near capillaries because capillaries carry blood which in turn brings food/fuel to the cells and removes waste products.
What else can I help you with?
What gas exchange takes place in the capillaries throughout the body?
Oxygen is delivered to, and carbon dioxide is removed from, cells near the capillary.
The respiratory membrane consists of what cells?
Alveolar squamous cells and Capillary endothelial cells.
Why is it important that capillary cells have channels between them?
for difussion

Are the red blood cells in the capillary?
I Believe so
What is the critical distance a cell must maintain from a capillary to survive?
The critical distance a cell must maintain from a capillary in order to survive is rarely greater than 40 to 200 µm. The role that diffusion plays in this process is that it can maintain the concentration gradient required at the cell.
How would you use capillary in a sentence?
The liquid was pulled into the small tube by capillary action.
Its pores prevent filtration of blood cells?
Capillary endothelium
Why is capillary blood glucose value higher than venous blood glucose?
Because the glucose in capillary blood is not fully delivered to the cells yet. Once the blood leaves the capillary and enters the vein, the glucose has then been delivered to the cells and the blood is considered used.
What is the function of capillary net?
to spread the blood cells so thin that the oxygen can be taken into cells or transferred to other cells.
What is capillary washout?
Capillary washout is a stage of shock that is irreversible. When capillary washout occurs all cell functions stop and the cells die. There is large amounts of potassium acid forced in to the openings of the capillary sphincters and begin to form clots.
