Gas, nutrient, and waste exchange occur between the ____ and the tissues of the body.
A
veins
B
arteries
C
capillaries
D
legs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exchange of Gases, Nutrients, and Waste Between Blood and Tissue Occurs in the Capillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels that branch out from arterioles to form networks around body cells. In the lungs, capillaries absorb oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream and release carbon dioxide for exhalation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Capillaries: These tiny blood vessels have thin walls. Oxygen and nutrients from the blood can move through the walls and get into organs and tissues. The capillaries also take waste products away from your tissues. Capillaries are where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capillaries allow exchange of substances with body tissues through their thin walls. As blood travels at high pressure in the arteries towards the capillaries, pressure filtration occurs which results in plasma passing through the capillary wall into the tissue fluid which surrounds the cell.
