Quick Facts
- Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arterioles and venules.
- These small blood vessels are responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body.
- They are so small that red blood cells can only pass through them in single file.
- They have thin walls made up of only one layer of cells, allowing for easy exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products.
- They are found in nearly every tissue of the body, from the skin to the muscles to the brain.
- There are millions of capillaries in the human body, totaling a length of over 60,000 miles.
- They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow and blood pressure within the body.
- They also help to maintain the body’s pH balance and temperature by regulating the exchange of fluids and electrolytes.
- They can expand and contract to control blood flow to specific areas of the body based on demand.
