How does a capillary bed function?

A capillary bed functions as a network of tiny blood vessels, or capillaries, that facilitate the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between blood and surrounding tissues. Blood flows through these capillaries under low pressure, allowing for efficient diffusion due to the thin walls of the vessels. The capillary bed is composed of a network of arterioles supplying blood and venules carrying it away, regulating blood flow through mechanisms like precapillary sphincters. This intricate system ensures that tissues receive adequate oxygen and nutrients while removing carbon dioxide and metabolic waste.
