Capillary blood is a mixture of blood from both arterioles and venules, making it different from whole blood, which is typically obtained from venous sources. While capillary blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, it also includes interstitial fluid, which can alter its composition. Therefore, while capillary blood can be considered a type of whole blood, it is not identical to venous whole blood due to the presence of this additional fluid.
