Either a arteriole on the artery side or a venule on the vein side of the bed.
The lacteals are specialized lymphatic vessels in the small intestine that absorb dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, transporting them to the bloodstream via the lymphatic system.
It is the smallest blood vessels in the body that carries blood cells ,salts & nutrients to be supplied to tissues & organs.It is a minute(nm) tube that permits flow of minute solutions/gas in minimum molecular form.A capillary is the smallest blood vessel in the body.

Continuous Capillary :)

A capillary is the smallest blood vessel. It connects arteries and veins.
That would be the capillary
Capillary
Capillary
As blood enters the capillary bed on the arteriole end, the blood pressure in the capillary vessel is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid moves from the vessel to the body tissue.At the middle of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel equals the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid passes equally between the capillary vessel and the body tissue. Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point.On the venue end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel.
Yes, the capillaries are the smallest kind of blood vessel, that facilitate the movement of substances (like oxygen and glucose) in and out of the blood through their very thin walls.
