Capillaries are very thin blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients and hormones can pass through the walls of the capillaries and reach the body's cells, while red blood cells remain in the capillaries.

capillaries
Capillaries take oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the cells in the body. They also remove waste products, such as carbon dioxide, from the cells.
-Arteries -Veins -Capillaries Arteries carry blood from heart and veins carry to heart and to capillaries capillaries switch oxygen.
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells. These tiny blood vessels have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
blood
No. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that carry blood to the cells of the body. They have nothing to do with bacteria.
capillaries carry blood from the heart to the body
Cells
So it carries blood in the body. If it has no holes how is it going to carry the blood with oxygen, CO2 and nutrients to the cells in your body?
They are a very small and narrow blood vessel. Smaller than an artery, they carry blood to the capillaries which carry blood to the cells of the body.
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
capillaries
oxygen
No, capillaries are tissues that form tubes to transport blood throughout the body. They are made of thousands of cells.
veins, capillaries, arteries or white cells and red cells
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
