A slow running computer is the result of two things. Hardware or software or both. Hardware: If you computer is less than any of the following you will be slow on the internet. CPU 800MHZ, RAM memory 256MB, 500MB free hard drive space, 56K modem. If you do meet these, it is time for and upgrade or replacement. DSL modem and service is the most economical option for most folks to get off the dial up modem and increase their speed. Software: This is where things get gunked up and a little trickier. So I'll break it down to: Operating system, Antivirus and spyware programs, internet browser, loaded programs, internet provider software. Operating system: Linux, is the most efficiant but is not the easiest or most compatible OS choice for The average joe PC user. Windows XP and 2000 are What the majority are using. Antivirus and spyware: Norton and Mcafee antivirus are the top sellers and do a great job but they also slow down a computer in a big way. My antivirus of choice this year is computer associates etrust antivirus. Spyware programs are numerous. A very large amount of them are bogus. The best one i have used for several years now is Lavasofts Adaware. Internet browsers: Microsoft internet explorer(MSIE) is the most wideky used browser. It does a good job but is prone to a lot of pop up ads. Avoid adding pop up blockers and internet toolbars whenever possible(Google toolbar and blocker are okay so far). If you have them uninstall them. A second browser option is available and it is called Mozilla firefox. Loaded Programs: These are all the programs running in the background sucking up your memory and CPU usage. Stop them from loading by clicking- start-run-type "msconfig" no quotes-click startup- unselect whatever.

Why would you expect gills to have an exceptionally large number of capillaries?
Capillaries, which are the smallest of the blood vessels, are the site of gas exchange...carbon dioxide diffuses out of surrounding cells into the gills to be lost into the environment, and oxygen diffuses from the environment into the gill cells and then surrounding tissues. The gills function like the lungs of a fish, so large numbers of capillaries in these structures function to supply oxygen/get rid of waste carbon dioxide for the organism.
Why does capillary change color as it passes by your body cells?
Capillaries change color as they pass by body cells as the blood they contain loses oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood has a brighter color than oxygen-poor blood.
It helps in exchange of materials and gases between the blood and other surrounding cells easily.
