Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins).
