Capillaries

Capillaries logo #20560Very thin blood vessels. They form extensive networks throughout the body to ensure that all tissues are supplied with enough blood. Blood enters the capillaries from small arteries (arterioles) and then drains from the capillaries into small veins (called venules). The walls of the capillaries are very thin, which makes it easier for substances, s...

Capillaries

Capillaries logo #20909Capillaries: Capillaries are the smallest of blood vessels. They serve to distribute oxygenated blood from arteries to the tissues of the body and to feed deoxygenated blood from the tissues back into the veins. The capillaries are thus a central component in the circulatory system, essentially between the arteries and the veins. When pink areas of...

Capillaries

Capillaries logo #21217About ten billion capillaries lace all body tissues, bringing blood within reach of every cell. They are the smallest blood vessels, microscopic in size, and contain less than five percent of the total circulating blood volume at any one time. Capillaries branch off from the metarterioles which connect arterioles with venules. The capillaries have ...

capillaries

capillaries logo #24142The smallest blood vessels. Within all body tissues except the epidermis and those in the central nervous system, capillaries form networks called capillary beds, which connect the arterioles and venules. The thin walls of the capillaries allow materials to be exchanged between the blood and the body cells—the body cells absorb oxygen from the bl...
