APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries are so small that blood cells can only move through them one at a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass from these capillaries to the cells. Capillaries are also connected to veins, so wastes from the cells can be transferred to the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exchange of Gases, Nutrients, and Waste Between Blood and Tissue Occurs in the Capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capillaries are where fluids, gasses, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues by diffusion. Capillary walls contain small pores that allow certain substances to pass into and out of the blood vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -At each body part, a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries connects the very small artery branches to very small veins. The capillaries have very thin walls, and through them, nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells. Waste products are brought into the capillaries.
