Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A network of tiny ____ connects the arteries and veins, delivers nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and removes waste products such as carbon dioxide.

A	ventricles
B	veins
C	pulmonary circulation
D	capillaries
E	alveoli

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries: These blood vessels connect very small arteries (arterioles) and veins (venules). Capillaries have thin walls that allow oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste products to pass into and out of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular system, also called the circulatory system, is made up of the vessels that carry blood and lymph through the body. The arteries and veins carry blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and taking away tissue waste matter.
