GlossaryCapillaries

smallest blood vessels connecting arteries to veins for exchange

Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting arteries to veins and facilitating the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues. They have thin walls, typically one cell thick, which allows for efficient diffusion of substances.
