Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries are essential for the delivery of oxygen to the tissue and in the exchange of nutrients between blood and interstitial fluid surrounding the cells. This function is well supported by the anatomy of the vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Capillaries are thin-walled vessels composed of a single endothelial layer. Because of the thin walls of the capillary, the exchange of nutrients and metabolites occurs primarily via diffusion. The arteriolar lumen regulates the flow of blood through the capillaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Capillaries. A capillary is a microscopic channel that supplies blood to the tissues themselves, a process called perfusion. Exchange of gases and other substances occurs in the capillaries between the blood and the surrounding cells and their tissue fluid (interstitial fluid).
