Capillaries release various substances essential for cellular function and tissue homeostasis. They facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and tissues, as well as nutrients like glucose and amino acids. Additionally, capillaries help in the removal of waste products, such as urea and lactic acid, from tissues into the bloodstream. This exchange is crucial for maintaining proper physiological processes in the body.

Capillaries themselves do not actively release carbon dioxide; rather, they facilitate the exchange of gases between the blood and surrounding tissues. In the capillaries, oxygen is delivered to cells, and carbon dioxide, a metabolic waste product, is absorbed from the tissues into the bloodstream. This carbon dioxide is then transported back to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body during exhalation. Thus, capillaries play a crucial role in the transport and exchange of these gases.
Capillaries The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
Arteries "feed" the capillaries while veins drain the capillaries.
plmonary veins begin as capillaries and end as capillaries
Sinusoidal Capillaries
The thin walled blood vessels are called capillaries.
continuous capillaries
The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
they are called capillaries
