Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that form a vast network throughout tissues, facilitating the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between blood and cells. They are organized in a highly branched and interconnected manner, allowing for extensive surface area and efficient blood flow. Typically, capillaries connect arterioles (small arteries) to venules (small veins), ensuring that blood reaches every part of the body. Their walls are thin and permeable, composed of a single layer of endothelial cells, which aids in the diffusion of substances.
