Which blood vessel allows O2 and Co2 pass through it?
A
Veins
B
Capillaries
C
Arteries
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries have thin walls that allow oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide and waste products to pass through, to and from the tissue cells. Veins then carry the blood back to your heart, and the process begins again.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the alveoli and the capillaries in the lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -CAPILLARIES are blood vessels in the walls of the alveoli. Blood passes through the capillaries, entering through your PULMONARY ARTERY and leaving via your PULMONARY VEIN. While in the capillaries, blood gives off carbon dioxide through the capillary wall into the alveoli and takes up oxygen from air in the alveoli.
