The capillaries are the primary sites of exchange between blood and tissues. Capillaries are small blood vessels with thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. These exchanges are essential for maintaining the proper function of tissues in the body.
Capillaries are the semipermeable vessels that allow for the exchange of materials, such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste products, between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
Capillaries
the oxygenated blood flows from arteries to capillaries and after the exchange of material in capillaries and tissues it goes to vein and veins carries this deoxygenated blood to heart.

Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
Capillaries - The endometrium (epithelial lining/wall) of the capillaries is only one cell thick optimizing diffusion/osmosis between it and the tissue cells of the body
The velocity of blood is slowest in the capillaries. This allows for maximum exchange of nutrients, gases, and wastes between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
The human circulatory system consists of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and tissue fluid.
Nutrient exchange takes place in small blood vessels called capillaries, which have thin walls that allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues.
